The present disclosure relates to an autonomous, electric, vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) aircraft that is low-noise, safe, and efficient to operate for cargo transportation over relatively long ranges. A VTOL aircraft includes a fuselage, a plurality of arms, a tail, and a plurality of propulsion systems mounted on the arms and the tail. The plurality of arms have parts that are rotatable and the tail has a part that is rotatable for transitioning the VTOL aircraft between a forward-flight configuration and a hover configuration.
