Abstract: An aircraft (1), in particular a passenger or cargo aircraft, with a fuselage (2), has a tandem wing arrangement and has at least two aero engines (5, 6) disposed on the upper surface of the rear wing (4). In this way the disadvantages of the known solutions of the prior art are avoided and an improved aircraft configuration with improved aerodynamics, namely clearly reduced induced drag, is provided. Moreover, the invention creates an environmentally friendly aircraft design which conserves resources, increasing the acceptance of such aircraft among the population.

Abstract: The invention relates to a drive device for an aircraft, at least comprising a battery for storing electrical energy, an electric motor for driving a propeller, a conducting means for transferring the electrical energy from the battery to the electric motor, and a first control means for controlling the electric motor. The invention is characterized in that: the battery is a lithium-air battery; the electric motor is a high-temperature superconductor motor; at least one store is provided for a coolant and a cooling system which is connected to the store for cooling the high-temperature superconductor motor, the cooling system comprising a second control means for controlling the cooling system; a first means is provided for variably arranging the lithium-air battery and/or a second means is provided for variably arranging the store in the aircraft; and a third control means is provided for controlling the first and/or the second means.
