This disclosure describes a multi-wing manned or unmanned compact personal vertical takeoff and landing aircraft, comprising the integration of: a plurality of parallel wings forming a boxed planform multi-wing assembly with no dynamic airfoil control surfaces, statically affixed to a co-planar adjacent counter-rotating quad-rotor air propulsion system; and a fuselage free to rotate under servo control about an axial shaft, permitting dynamic orientation manipulation. The vehicle described herein achieves: high maneuverability and attitude orientation control incumbent upon the ratio of power delivered to the quad-rotors; area constrained and enhanced wind gust insensitive VTOL capability; high fuel efficient non-hover aerodynamic flight capability; high external field-of-view optical visibility from the fuselage interior; convenient fuselage interior accessibility; and enhanced net pitching moment of inertia about the multi-wing assembly net aerodynamic center, permitting rapid transitioning to and from aerodynamic flight orientation.
