A port or starboard aircraft wing module of continuous annular shape 1 (for a starboard wing) shown in Fig. 1, forming forward 2 and rearward 3 wing-sections that extend horizontally far apart but are connected at both the inboard root and outboard tips, characterized by a root-section 4 connecting the inboard roots of forward and rearward wing-sections, root-section 4 spanning a vertical range greater than the chord thickness and designed to carry the load on both forward and rearward wing-sections, and root section 4 being secured to the aircraft fuselage by rows 5,6 of lightly loaded fastenings that allow each complete wing module to be detached, attached, or folded for transport or replacement, without the risks of involving highly stressed critical joints, and where within the void at the centre of each wing module is located a vertical-lift fan oriented in an approximately horizontal rotation plane, such that the wing modules serve as a safety guard to reduce risk of accidental contact with these fan blades, and where the aircraft can be operated with vertical-lift fans powered off to facilitate efficient sustained level "cruise" flight.
