An aircraft includes a structure exhibiting a median plane XZ and including a fuselage, a fixed vertical stabilizer at the rear of the fuselage, an adjustable horizontal stabilizer rotatably mounted about a horizontal axis on a first section of the structure, and extending on either side of the median plane XZ, and at the rear, two elevators mounted rotatably about a horizontal axis on a second section of the structure on either side of the median plane XZ independently of the adjustable horizontal stabilizer. In an aircraft of this kind, the elevators no longer have any impact on the adjustable horizontal stabilizer, which allows, among other things, the dimensions of the adjustable horizontal stabilizer, and also of the actuator operating them, to be reduced.
