A tail sitter aircraft (10) includes a fuselage (12) having a forward portion (14) and an aft portion (16). The forward portion (14) of the fuselage (12) includes first and second rotor stations (18, 20). A first rotor assembly (22) is positioned proximate the first rotor station (18). A second rotor assembly (24) is positioned proximate the second rotor station (20). A tailboom assembly (26) extends from the aft portion (16) of the fuselage (12). The tailboom assembly (26) includes a plurality of landing members (28). In a vertical takeoff and landing mode of the aircraft (10), the first and second rotor assemblies (22, 24) rotate about the fuselage (12) to provide vertical thrust. In a forward flight mode of the aircraft, the first rotor assembly (22) rotates about the fuselage (12) to provide forward thrust and the second rotor assembly (24) is non-rotatable about the fuselage (12) forming wings to provide lift.
