The invention relates to a vertical-takeoff aircraft (1) with a wing (3). A first drive unit (4) and a second drive unit (5) are swivellably mounted on the wing (3). The first drive unit (4) and the second drive unit (5) are arranged on the wing (3) at a distance from a wing-end (12) of the wing (3). A first distance between the first drive unit (4) and a longitudinal axis (10) of the aircraft (3) is approximately equal to a second distance between the second drive unit (5) and the longitudinal axis (10) of the aircraft (3). The first drive unit (4) and the second drive unit (5) are swivellable into a horizontal flying position and a vertical flying position. In the horizontal flying position the first drive unit (4) is arranged above a wing surface and the second drive unit (5) below the wing surface on the wing. In the vertical flying position the first drive unit (4) and the second drive unit (5) are arranged in an approximately horizontal plane. The first drive unit (4) and the second drive unit (5) each have a swivel arm (7), wherein the swivel arms (7) are swivellably mounted on the wing (3).
