Abstract:
An aircraft including a fuselage and a propulsion assembly. The propulsion assembly includes at least one fan rotor placed behind the fuselage as an extension thereof along a longitudinal axis, and a nacelle which forms a fairing of the at least one fan rotor through which at least one air flow passes. The aircraft comprises a plurality of stator radial arms mounted upstream of the at least one fan rotor and extending between the fuselage and the nacelle. The radial arms comprise at least one variable-pitch movable portion configured to axially divert the air flow.
