Abstract: A rotorcraft includes a substantially rigid structural body. The structural body has an internal cavity and an aperture extending entirely through the structural body. The rotorcraft further includes at least one of a tail boom and a fuselage. The rotorcraft further includes a propulsion device disposed at least partially within the internal cavity and at least partially within the aperture. The propulsion device is carried by the structural body so that forces are transferred from the propulsion device to at least one of the tail boom and the fuselage via the structural body.
