Abstract:
An aircraft including a fuselage, a lateral support wing (1) and a propulsion assembly (100) mounted under the wing. The wing includes at least two structural spars (11ba, 11bf) extending from the fuselage toward the tip of the wing, one of these (11ba) being upstream and the other (11bf) downstream. The propulsion assembly includes a gas generator (106) and at least two offset fans (102, 104) arranged on either side of the axis of the gas generator. The offset fans (102, 104) are attached directly to one of the spars (11ba, 11bf) and the gas generator (106) is attached directly to the two spars. The leading edge of the wing forms a given sweep of angle (α) with the axis of the fuselage. The two offset fans (102, 104) are axially offset from one another.
