While playing Pokémon GO, I saw a plane with:



  • Propellers behind the engine.

  • Canards at the tip of the plane.

  • Normal-looking tail with a flat wing at the end of the upright bit.

I know these are probably not the correct terms, but I'm not sure what else to call those components.

  • The terms you're looking for: "Propellers behind the engine": this is a pusher configuration. "Normal looking tail with a flat wing at the end of the upright bit": this sounds like a T-tail.

The "propellers behind the engine" is called a "push configuration". One you look through aircraft that are private business planes, the Piaggio P.180 Avanti comes up as a likely contender.

    The stabilizer arrangement here is usually called a "three-surface" -- both canard and conventional stabilizer in addition to the main wing. There are a number of current and next generation jet fighters with this layout, as well, though of course they don't have pusher propellers.

    Could have been a Beechcraft Starship too, I don't have a picture on hand. Large plane or small?

    The Starship does not have a "normal looking tail", though.
