A passenger vertical take-off and landing aircraft includes a flying wing comprising a passenger compartment, a first set of rotors positioned at least partially forward of a leading edge of the flying wing, and a second set of rotors positioned at least partially rearward of a trailing edge of the flying wing. The first set of rotors may include at least four rotors and the second set of rotors may comprise at least two rotors. The first set of rotors, the second set of rotors, both, or neither may be tiltable between lift configurations for providing lift for vertical take-off and landing of the aircraft and propulsion configurations for providing forward thrust to the aircraft.

    L'invention concerne un aéronef de passagers à décollage et atterrissage verticaux constituant une aile volante et qui comprend un compartiment passagers, un premier ensemble de rotors positionnés au moins partiellement vers l'avant d'un bord d'attaque de l'aile volante, et un second ensemble de rotors positionnés au moins partiellement vers l'arrière d'un bord de fuite de l'aile volante. Le premier ensemble de rotors peut comprendre au moins quatre rotors, et le second ensemble de rotors peut comprendre au moins deux rotors. Le premier ensemble de rotors et/ou le second ensemble de rotors peu(ven)t ou non être inclinable(s) entre des configurations de portance pour fournir une portance pour un décollage et un atterrissage verticaux de l'aéronef, et des configurations de propulsion pour fournir à l'aéronef une poussée vers l'avant.
