The invention relates to an aircraft (100) comprising an aircraft body (120) defining a longitudinal direction, a vertical direction and a transverse direction, and at least two propulsion devices (1) rotatable about a respective associated axis of rotation (5) to generate a respective associated thrust vector, wherein a first number of the propulsion devices are arranged along a first straight line, which is parallel to the transverse direction, and a second number of the propulsion devices being arranged along a second straight line which is parallel to the transverse direction, the first straight line being spaced apart from the second straight line, and the center of mass of the aircraft being positioned between the first straight line and the second straight line. The aircraft is adapted to perform hover flight, in that in hover flight each of the associated axes of rotation (5) is oriented substantially in the transverse direction of the aircraft body, and each of the at least two propulsion devices rotates substantially in the same direction of rotation about the respective associated axis of rotation. Aircraft configurations with further orientations of the rotational axes are also considered.
