A vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) aircraft comprises a fuselage. A pair of wings is fixedly connected to the fuselage. A pair of horizontal stabilizers is fixedly connected to the fuselage and spaced from the pair of wings along a longitudinal axis. At least one fan is ducted within each wing of the pair of wings and within each horizontal stabilizer. The at least one fan has a fan axis defined by a fan hub. The fan axis has a fan axis orientation defined in a frame of reference of the VTOL aircraft. The fan axis orientation is invariable in the frame of reference. At least one thrust unit is mounted to the fuselage. The at least one thrust unit has a thrust unit axis defined by the thrust unit hub.
