A VTOL (vertical take-off and landing) rotorcraft with distributed propulsion system having the capability to convert to airplane flight. The rotorcraft includes a fuselage, a tail boom or tail fin, a pair of wings, a pair of transversally extended forward pivotable rotor booms, a plurality of forward proprotor mounted to the pivotable rotor booms, a plurality of rear lift rotor mounted to the tail boom, and a stabilizer mounted on the tail boom or tail fin. The proprotor and lift rotor can be open rotor or ducted rotor design. The proprotors in a first configuration and lift rotors provide thrust vector for VTOL (vertical take-off and landing) flight. Moreover, the proprotors in a second configuration provide the forward propulsive thrust in airplane flight.
