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.
A pusher aircraft is a type of aircraft using propellers placed behind the engines. Pushers may be classified according to lifting surfaces layout (conventional or 3 surface, canard, joined wing, tailless and rotorcraft) as well as engine/propeller location and drive. For historical interest, pusher aircraft are also classified by date.

This category is for aircraft constructed with a pusher configuration, where the engine is mounted with the propeller facing to the rear of the plane, such that the aircraft is "pushed" through the air, as opposed to the tractor configuration in which the aircraft is "pulled" through the air.
The fractional aircraft operator Avantair was Piaggio's largest client, with a fleet of 57 Avanti aircraft, [28] before they went bankrupt and the fleet was liquidated. [77] [78] In May 2017, 220 aircraft were in operation around the world, [79] with 89 being first-generation Avanti, 126 second-generation Avanti II and 6 Avanti EVO models. [80]
The aircraft had an open cockpit in the center wing section and single, rear-facing, pusher propeller connected to a Menasco Cirrus inverted-four piston engine blended into the all-wing shape. [2] X-216H was first flown in 1929 with Edward Bellande at the controls; [ 3 ] the aircraft displayed adequate performance and was noted for its unique ...
The extra support from facing backward is the same reason why babies stay in rear-facing car seats for as long as possible, explains Dan Boland, the founder of holidayers.com, and an Airbus A350 ...
The aircraft's design goal was to offer the safety of twin engines without the stall and spin risks of a conventional twin during single-engine operations. [ 1 ] [ 3 ] The rear-facing pusher propellers are mounted close together where the fuselage cross-section tapers, reducing asymmetrical single-engine thrust yawing compared to conventional ...
