A flying passenger rotor lifted vehicle that is capable of taking off and landing vertically, that is relatively light-weight, has responsive control, and increased safety against failure of propulsion/thrust systems. The flying vehicle can include a body having a tail section, a central thrust unit arranged along the longitudinal axis of the vehicle, at a distance from the rotation axis of the main rotor, a mounting support on either side of the body, and a side thrust unit mounted to each mounting support. The central thrust unit includes a fan which provides air flow with a flow component perpendicular to a virtual vertical midplane of the vehicle. Each of the side thrust units includes a fan which provides air flow with a flow component parallel to the virtual vertical midplane. At least one of the thrust units has controllable air deflection to deflect the corresponding output air flow in a controllable manner.
