A passenger-carrying rotorcraft with fixed-wings for generating lift utilizes an occupiable structural body, a control unit, a plurality of lift-generating rotors, a portable power source, and a bi-wing structure. The rotorcraft configured with fixed-wings results in an energy-efficient aircraft capable of vertical takeoff and landing. The occupiable structural body is designed to carry a pilot and one or more passengers. The control unit is wired to flight instruments controlled by the pilot, allowing the pilot to maneuver the rotorcraft. The plurality of lift-generating rotors provides upward thrust for vertical takeoff and landing of the rotorcraft. The portable power source is charged by a hybrid power generation system running on both renewable solar energy and a non-renewable chemical fuel source. The bi-wing structure employs two airfoils positioned on top of each other to maximize the lift without significantly increasing the effective wingspan.
