List of pusher aircraft by configuration

Add links
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A pusher aircraft is a type of aircraft using propellers placed behind the engines and may be classified according to engine/propeller location and drive as well as the lifting surfaces layout (conventional or 3 surface, canard, joined wing, tailless and rotorcraft), Some aircraft have a Push-pull configuration with both tractor and pusher engines. The list includes these even if the pusher engine is just added to a conventional layout (engines inside the wings or above the wing for example).

Conventional and three surface layouts[edit]

The conventional layout of an aircraft has wings ahead of the empennage.

Direct drive[edit]

Prop ahead of tail[edit]

Between booms or frames[edit]
Coaxially on rear fuselage[edit]
Nacelle above fuselage[edit]
Below tail boom[edit]
Above tailboom, behind fuselage[edit]

Propeller behind the tail[edit]

Lateral behind wing[edit]

Lateral nacelles[edit]

Engines and props behind the pilot[edit]

Remote drive[edit]

Propeller ahead of tail[edit]

Within airframe[edit]
Behind wing[edit]

Inside tail[edit]

Behind tail[edit]

Propeller above fuselage[edit]

Canard and tandem layouts[edit]

A canard is an aircraft with a smaller wing ahead of the main wing. A tandem layout has both front and rear wings of similar dimensions.

Direct drive[edit]

Remote engine mounting[edit]

Tailless aircraft, flying wings and closed wing[edit]

Tailless aircraft lack a horizontal stabilizer, flying wings lack a distinct fuselage, with crew, engines, and payload contained within the wing structure.

Rotorcraft[edit]

Push-pull aircraft[edit]

Sides of fuselage[edit]

Above fuselage[edit]

Extremities[edit]

On nose and between booms[edit]
