The main fuselage 12 and the pair of left and right auxiliary fuselage 14, 16 are connected by three wings, the front wing 30, the main wing 26, and the horizontal stabilizer 32. At the connecting portion between the main fuselage 12 and the main wing 26, a narrow portion 28 is provided in the chord of the main wing 26 that is narrower than the other portions of the main wing 26. The narrow portion 28 of the main wing 26 is connected to the side surface of the main fuselage 12 or the narrow portion 28 penetrates the main fuselage 12. The main wing 26 and the pair of left and right auxiliary fuselage 14 and 16 were connected by interposing a flat columnar support 48. The aircraft can fly stably with less turbulence of airflow and is suitable for aerial refueling and the like.
