An aircraft includes a fuselage having a tapered rear shape, a landing gear for moving the aircraft on a runway, a wing attached to the fuselage, at least a main engine for providing a main thrust and a rear fan, wherein the rear fan is attached to a tail section of the fuselage, wherein the aircraft is designed for conducting a take-off rotation around the landing gear during take-off from the runway, such that the tail section of the fuselage approaches the runway, wherein the rear fan is an open fan having fan blades extending in a radial direction to a longitudinal axis of the fuselage, wherein the fan blades are dimensioned to equal at least a boundary layer thickness of the flow along the fuselage and to be smaller than the gap between the runway and the tail section of the fuselage during the take-off rotation.
