A VTOL (vertical take-off and landing) rotorcraft with distributed propulsion system having the capability to convert to airplane flight. The rotorcraft includes a short fuselage, a pair of wings, a pair of inboard booms, a plurality of outboard booms, an empennage, a plurality of lift rotors, and a plurality of proprotors. The fuselage, the wings, inboard booms and V-tail are mechanically coupled together. The plurality of outboard booms is mounted to the wings. Moreover, the proprotors and lift rotors are mounted on the inboard and outboard boom. The placement of the lift rotors allows the rotorcraft to benefit from the reliable and agile function of the quadcopter. The plurality of proprotors in a first configuration provides additional lift thrust for VTOL flight and a second configuration provides forward propulsive thrust in airplane flight.
