A multicopter (10) is disclosed, which has fuselage (12) and a lift structure (14). The fuselage (12) is suitably a stand-within structure for a single occupant (50), or a harness (120) which connects the occupant (50) to the lift structure (14). The lift structure (14) is formed from a plurality of spars (16) that extend outwardly from the fuselage. Each spar (16) carries, at their distal ends (22), a rotor (24) which provides thrust and/or lift for the multicopter (10). The lift structure (14) includes four or more spars (16) arranged so as to define a central aperture (18) within which the fuselage and/or occupant (50). The lift structure (14) may be moveable relative to the fuselage (12) so that the centre of lift can be moved relative to the centre of gravity, which can facilitate a transition between ground effect and normal flight, as well as reducing the structural requirements of the fuselage (12).
