Aircraft comprising at least one fuselage, which has a front fuselage section and a rear fuselage section, at least one wing provided in the region of the front fuselage section, at least one first drive device provided in the region of the front fuselage section and/or on the wing and configured to generate propulsion and/or lift, at least one tailplane which is configured to rotate and/or stabilize the aircraft about a transverse axis of the aircraft during flight, wherein the tailplane - is attached to the fuselage, and the rear fuselage section can be pivoted relative to the front fuselage section about a pivot axis which is substantially parallel to the transverse axis of the aircraft, and/or - is attached to at least one support element which is mounted on the fuselage and/or on the wing and which can be pivoted relative to the fuselage and/or to the wing about a pivot axis which is substantially parallel to the transverse axis of the aircraft, at least one second drive device provided on the tailplane and/or on the rear fuselage section and/or on the at least one support element and configured to generate lift, and a control device configured to control the aircraft in a first hovering mode, in which the aircraft can take off and/or land, such that - the longitudinal axis of the aircraft is substantially vertical, - the rear fuselage section or the at least one support element is pivoted into a second orientation which is substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the aircraft, and - the lift of the aircraft is generated by the first and second drive device (2, 4), characterized in that the control device is further configured to control the aircraft in a second hovering mode, in which the aircraft can take off and/or land, such that - the longitudinal axis of the aircraft is substantially vertical, - the rear fuselage section or the at least one support element is pivoted into a first orientation which is substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the aircraft, and - the lift of the aircraft is generated, in particular only, by the first drive device. - is attached to the fuselage, and the rear fuselage section can be pivoted relative to the front fuselage section about a pivot axis which is substantially parallel to the transverse axis of the aircraft, and/or - is attached to at least one support element which is mounted on the fuselage and/or on the wing and which can be pivoted relative to the fuselage and/or to the wing about a pivot axis which is substantially parallel to the transverse axis of the aircraft, at least one second drive device provided on the tailplane and/or on the rear fuselage section and/or on the at least one support element and configured to generate lift, and a control device configured to control the aircraft in a first hovering mode, in which the aircraft can take off and/or land, such that - the longitudinal axis of the aircraft is substantially vertical, - the rear fuselage section or the at least one support element is pivoted into a second orientation which is substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the aircraft, and - the lift of the aircraft is generated by the first and second drive device (2, 4), characterized in that the control device is further configured to control the aircraft in a second hovering mode, in which the aircraft can take off and/or land, such that - the longitudinal axis of the aircraft is substantially vertical, - the rear fuselage section or the at least one support element is pivoted into a first orientation which is substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the aircraft, and - the lift of the aircraft is generated, in particular only, by the first drive device.
