An aircraft having a frame assembly that supports a compressor having an outer shell that defines front and rear nozzle ports with rotatable nozzles for selectable vertical or horizontal thrust. The inner shell and the outer shell define an intake gap therebetween such as an annulus. A first fan unit within the inner shell and is configured to exhaust air through the front nozzle ports. A second fan unit within the outer shell intakes air through the intake gap and exhausts air through the rear nozzle ports. The fan units are preferably connected to one another via a drive shaft that is surrounded by a streamlining tube. The fan units each include a plurality of fans having stators therebetween. The stators have a plurality of stator arms with a wing structure pivotally attached to the trailing edge for angling air flow from a front to a rear fan.
