VTOL aircraft that takeoff and land as a multirotor and cruises as airplane. The aircraft comprises two major parts: First; winged carrier frame comprises wings, engines, propellers and landing gears. Second; tilting fuselage comprises cockpit, cabin and tail. Winged carrier frame is basically X/H frame multirotor that its thruster carrying arms are wing shaped. Aircraft vertically takeoff as multirotor after gaining safe altitude and forward airspeed then changes its flying axis that wings and thrust direction parallel to horizon. Lift generated by wings and thrust generated by thrusters that aircraft has basic airplane flying characteristics. Fuselage tilted to keep payload parallel to the horizon. Speed reduced, winged carrier frame and fuselage returned to multirotor for landing. It is easier to rotate fuselage than thrusters or wings. It is better to adjust thrust levels than vectoring to reduce the moving parts and aerodynamic effects.
