An aircraft includes a fuselage, a wing connected to and extending outward from the fuselage, and an engine mounted to the wing. The engine includes turbomachine defining a centerline axis, a fan, and an exhaust section with an outlet nozzle. The turbomachine defines a centerline axis. The fan is connected to and is disposed upstream from the turbomachine. The fan is disposed to rotate about the centerline axis. During operation of the engine, an exhaust stream is expelled from the outlet nozzle of the exhaust section. The exhaust stream defines a mean direction of flow in the downstream direction from the exhaust section. The mean direction of flow defines a first angle with the centerline axis of the turbomachine that is greater than zero such that the centerline axis is oriented downwardly along the vertical direction relative to the mean direction of flow of the exhaust stream.
