A vertical takeoff and landing aircraft takeoff/land as a multirotor and cruises as an airplane. The aircraft comprises two major parts: a winged carrier frame comprises wings, engines, propellers and landing gears; a tilting fuselage comprises cockpit, cabin and tail. The winged carrier frame is basically an X/H frame multirotor in which its thruster carrying arms are wing shaped. The aircraft can vertical takeoff as a multirotor aircraft after gaining safe altitude and forward airspeed the aircraft changes its flying axis that the wings and the thrust direction parallel to the horizon. The lift generated by the wings and thrust generated by the thrusters that aircraft has basic airplane flying characteristics. The fuselage tilted to keep the crew, passengers and payload relatively parallel to the horizon. The speed is reduced then the winged carrier frame and the tilting fuselage returned to multirotor mode for the landing.
