An electrically powered vertical takeoff and landing aircraft (EVTOL) includes a payload module, a plurality of electrical power sources. a wing, and a plurality of electric thrust generators. The wing is pivotally attached to the payload module and is configured to pivot about a pivot axis, relative to the payload module, to transition between vertical flight and horizontal flight. The electric thrust generators are operatively attached to the wing, where each one is operatively connected to a different electrical power source. The electric thrust generators operate to provide thrust to the aircraft in response to receiving electric power from the electrical power sources. The electric thrust generators pivot, with the wing, about the pivot axis, relative to the payload.
