A VTOL aircraft is provided with a fuselage, a pair of first thrust units, a pair of second thrust units, and a pair of first wings. The first thrust units and the second thrust units are tiltably mounted on the fuselage. The first wings are securely mounted on the fuselage, and each first wing has a root end and an outer end. The longitudinal length of the outer end is larger than that of the root end. Thus, when the VTOL aircraft is landing or taking off, the airflow can pass around the root ends of the first wings; when the VTOL aircraft is cruising or gliding, the wings can provide lift, so that the first thrust units and the second thrust units can operate in a low mode, which makes the VTOL aircraft save energy and land safely even when the thrust units are broken.
