The present embodiments are related to a multirotor aircraft 1 that is adapted for vertical take-off and landing and comprises a fuselage 2 and at least one thrust producing unit 3a that is connected to the fuselage 2 via an associated structural support 4a and pivotable around the associated structural support 4a relative to the fuselage 2. The at least one thrust producing unit 3a comprises at least one main rotor assembly 7a, a plurality of secondary rotor assemblies 8, and a shrouding 6a that forms a main air duct 11 for interacting with the at least one main rotor assembly 7a and a plurality of secondary air ducts 13 for interacting with the plurality of secondary rotor assemblies 8. The plurality of secondary air ducts 13 may be peripherally arranged around the main air duct 11 in an arc-shaped layout, if desired.
