The present disclosure relates to vertical takeoff and landing aerial vehicles configured to transport a payload. The vehicle comprises a main lifting body and a propulsion assembly coupled to the main lifting body. The main lifting body comprises a substantially airfoil shaped cross-section, and extends laterally from a first tip to a second tip having a pressure side and a suction side. Further, the propulsion assembly comprises two central thrusters located at the suction side and two lateral thrusters located at the pressure side. Additionally, the lateral thrusters are located closer to the respective tips than the central thrusters.
