The aircraft comprises a central cabin (1), which is located in the center of a circular wing (3). Several pivotal electric drive units (102-112) are arranged in a gap between the central cabin and the circular ring. In hover flight, the drive units are pivoted to generate a lift. When the aircraft goes into cruise flight, the drive units are pivoted to generate a forward thrust. Attitude and movements of the aircraft can be controlled by individual or common adjustment of the thrust and pivot angle of the drive units. Due to its simple design, the aircraft is economic and safe in operation. Still it has a high payload for its size.

L'aéronef selon la présente invention comprend une cabine centrale (1) qui est située au centre d'une voilure annulaire (3). Plusieurs unités de commande électriques pivotantes (102-112) sont installées dans un espace existant entre la cabine centrale et la voilure annulaire. En vol stationnaire, les unités de commande sont basculées pour générer une portance. Lorsque l'aéronef passe en vol de croisière, les unités de commande sont basculées pour générer une poussée normale. L'assiette et les mouvements de l'aéronef peuvent être commandés par le réglage individuel ou commun de l'angle de poussée et de pivotement des unités de commande. Du fait de sa conception simple, l'aéronef est économique et son fonctionnement est sans risque. Sa charge utile est cependant élevée pour sa taille.
