The invention is a fixed wing aircraft capable of vertical take-off and landing. The invention is intended for transportation of personnel and cargo. The aircraft consists of a fuselage, a rear wing connected to the fuselage through stabilizing fins, a pair of wings at the front, two propellers and corresponding motors attached to the front wing, and two control surfaces attached to the front wing. The aircraft orientation is maintained by cooperation between the two control surfaces and the thrust of the two propellers. The aircraft cruise with the fuselage pointing forward, but takes off and land with the fuselage pointing up. Transition is achieved entirely by rotating the whole aircraft.
