An airborne urban mobility vehicle 1 having vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) capability, comprises a fuselage 200 pivoted between lateral arms of a yoke 220, extending fore and aft and, at or towards the extremities of the arms; the respective fore portions are linked laterally together by an aerofoil 240; and the respective aft portions are linked laterally by an aerofoil 250; and at least one of the fore and aft aerofoils having a one or more propulsion units 260 mounted thereon. The aerofoils may have between one and four propulsion units mounted thereon and be equal between fore and aft, port and starboard. The aerofoils may comprise fixed wings in relation to the yoke, and the yoke moves with respect to the fuselage at the pivot (270, fig 2). The propulsion means may be controlled by a flight control unit which distributes electrical power to the propulsion units. The aircraft may be maneuvered in pitch, roll and yaw, and transition from vertical to horizontal flight by means of adjusting the relative propulsive force provided by the propulsion units. Rotation of the fuselage may be mediated to limit/enhance movement and may be acted on by a braking arrangement or actuator.
