We propose an aircraft (1) with folding mechanism, the aircraft (1) comprising:a fuselage (2);optionally a payload (2') and/or a landing gear (2") attached to said fuselage (2), preferably below said fuselage (2);at least two longitudinal beams (7.1, 7.2) attached to said fuselage (2), preferably above and/or sideways of said fuselage (2), that preferably extend parallel to each other and parallel to a first axis (x) of the aircraft (1), with a plurality of lifting units (3) attached to each of said longitudinal beams (7.1, 7.2);at least one crossbeam (8) attached to said fuselage (2), preferably above said fuselage (2), and preferably extending parallel to a second axis (y) of the aircraft (1) and at right angles with respect to said longitudinal beams (7.1, 7.2),with a plurality of lifting units (3) attached to said crossbeam (8);wherein said longitudinal beams (7.1, 7.2) are rotatably attached to said fuselage (2) by means of at least one respective first pivot joint devised for pivoting said longitudinal beams (7.1, 7.2) around a respective first pivot axis to a pivoted position (7.1', 7.2'); andwherein said crossbeam (8) is rotatably attached to said fuselage (2), preferably by means of at least one second pivot joint, for pivoting said crossbeam (8) around a second pivot axis to a pivoted position (8').
