A vertical takeoff and landing, VTOL, aircraft comprising: a main wing having a fore end, an aft end, a lateral axis extending between tips of the main wing, a longitudinal axis perpendicular to the lateral axis and extending between the fore end and the aft end, a top side, and a bottom side; a fore rotor unit (116 ) located at a fore end of a fuselage and intersecting a longitudinal axis of the fuselage ; an aft rotor unit (116 ) located at an aft end of the fuselage , the fore rotor unit (116 ) and the aft rotor unit (116 ) each including: at least one rotor vane including a plurality of pitched blades; a motor to rotate the at least one rotor vane to create thrust; each rotor unit coupled to the fuselage by corresponding supports that allow rotation of the fore rotor unit (116 ) and the aft rotor unit (116 ) along at least lateral axes, the lateral axes perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, the supports configured to transition the fore rotor unit (116 ) and the aft rotor unit (116 ) between: a hover flight orientation, such that thrust from the fore rotor unit (116 ) and the aft rotor unit (116 ) is directed substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the fuselage ; and a forward flight orientation, such that thrust from the fore rotor unit (116 ) and the aft rotor unit (116 ) is directed substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the fuselage , and such that backwash from the fore rotor unit (116 ) is directed over an upper surface of the fuselage generating lift; and a power distribution system in communication with the motors to deliver power for flight. a main wing having a fore end, an aft end, a lateral axis extending between tips of the main wing, a longitudinal axis perpendicular to the lateral axis and extending between the fore end and the aft end, a top side, and a bottom side; a fore rotor unit (116 ) located at a fore end of a fuselage and intersecting a longitudinal axis of the fuselage ; an aft rotor unit (116 ) located at an aft end of the fuselage , the fore rotor unit (116 ) and the aft rotor unit (116 ) each including: at least one rotor vane including a plurality of pitched blades; a motor to rotate the at least one rotor vane to create thrust; at least one rotor vane including a plurality of pitched blades; a motor to rotate the at least one rotor vane to create thrust; each rotor unit coupled to the fuselage by corresponding supports that allow rotation of the fore rotor unit (116 ) and the aft rotor unit (116 ) along at least lateral axes, the lateral axes perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, the supports configured to transition the fore rotor unit (116 ) and the aft rotor unit (116 ) between: a hover flight orientation, such that thrust from the fore rotor unit (116 ) and the aft rotor unit (116 ) is directed substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the fuselage ; and a forward flight orientation, such that thrust from the fore rotor unit (116 ) and the aft rotor unit (116 ) is directed substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the fuselage , and such that backwash from the fore rotor unit (116 ) is directed over an upper surface of the fuselage generating lift; and a power distribution system in communication with the motors to deliver power for flight. <EOS>
