A vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft is provided and includes a fuselage, inboard wings extending from opposite sides of the fuselage to define a support plane and engine nacelles disposed along the wings. Each of the wings includes ground alighting elements and a variable geometry such that a portion of the ground alighting elements are alignable with the support plane during in-flight conditions and displaceable from the support plane.
