A nacelle apparatus for a vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft includes a drive apparatus connected to a wing of the VTOL aircraft via a pylon apparatus and is configured to be pivoted relative to the pylon apparatus about a rotation axis between a propulsion position and a lift position. The nacelle apparatus further includes an air-conducting device having a first inlet opening on the pylon apparatus arranged in the region in which the first air flow strikes the pylon apparatus and a second inlet opening arranged on the nacelle apparatus and/or on the pylon apparatus so that a second air flow is configured to flow in through the second inlet opening in the propulsion position. The air-conducting device further includes an air distribution device with which the flowing air quantities from the first and second inlet openings are configured to be controlled inside the nacelle apparatus.
