An aircraft (10) includes a flying frame (12) having an airframe (26), a propulsion system (34) attached to the airframe (26) and a flight control system (68) operably associated with the propulsion system (34) wherein, the flying frame (12) has a vertical takeoff and landing mode and a forward flight mode. A pod assembly (70) is selectively attachable to the flying frame (12) such that the flying frame (12) is rotatable about the pod assembly (70) wherein, the pod assembly (70) remains in a generally horizontal attitude during vertical takeoff and landing, forward flight and transitions therebetween.
