The aircraft (10) comprises a fuselage (11) and a rhombohedral wing structure (12) comprising front wings (13, 14) mounted on a front wing-root support (17) and rear wings (15, 16) mounted on a rear wing-root support (18). One end of each front wing is articulated to one end of a rear wing and at least one of the wing-root supports is able to move along the fuselage. The wing-root supports (17, 18) are positioned respectively underneath and on top of the fuselage (11).The length (41) of the rear wings (15, 16) is strictly less than the length (48) of the front wings (13, 14).The aircraft (10) comprises an adaptor for adapting the position of each wing root (17, 18) to suit the flight conditions.
