AIRCRAFT

An aircraft (1) comprising a wing (3) having a spanwise lift distribution extending from a root (10) to a tip (12), the lift distribution defining an inboard region (14) defining a positive lift contribution, an outboard region (16) defining a negative lift contribution, and an intermediate region (18) defining a neutral lift contribution, the neutral region (18) being spaced from the tip (12) and from the root (10). A propulsion system is provided, comprising a wing mounted propulsor (5). The wing mounted propulsor (5) has a rotational axis (x) positioned substantially at a span of the wing (3) where a value of δLift/δSpan is at a maximum for the span of the wing, and may be located at the intermediate region (18) along the span of the wing (3).
