Aircraft engineering applicable for improving aerodynamic quality of helicopters, airplanes, including big airbuses and amphibian airplanes, aerodynamic ground-effect and air-cushion vehicles, by reducing contact area between the external fuselage tail section surface and a high-speed air flow, area of contact is reduced by increasing surface area of holes in the fuselage tail section. To increase lifting force without increasing pressure resistance, the aerodynamic channel bottom is convex upwards, for example, curved upwards according to the shape of the airfoil convex side. The upper hole for the aerodynamic channel in the fuselage skin may be located along the fin middle portion divided lengthwise by the fin to right and left, in two. The aerodynamic channel is made through and may be open. The upper front edge aligned hole of the aerodynamic channel has a greater surface area than the rear hole aligned with the fuselage end.
