List of pusher aircraft by configuration
This article needs additional citations for verification. (October 2011) |
![]() |
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.
