Generally the back of a plane is curverd (im imagining an airliner here, if you take a flighter jet then its just flat!) maybe light aircraft are flat.. anyway...

when the aircraft lands, the fuselage should be angled up a few degrees from the ground. If you want a better idea, then do the Landing tutorial in flight sim.  8)

Dont believe that angle necessary has to be aligned with the runway, but in general of pitch angle of 4-6 degrees during the flare is normal.

Upwards slant is for takeoff... and the hardware limiter for going over 15 degrees pitch.
 

Russian planes: IL-76 (all standard length ones),  Tu-154 and Il-62, Tu-134 and An-24RV&&&&AI flightplans and repaints can be found here

FYI, most airliners will hit the tail when exceeding 12 degrees (B744, 777, 737-800/900)
15 degrees may apply to the baby Boeing and A318/319...maybe even A320 as they sit significantly higher on the ground compared to the 737s.
