The invention refers to a VTOL aircraft of the type that uses certain aerodynamic phenomena to increase the lifting force and to reduce the thrust/weight ratio. An aircraft 1 uses a propulsion system 2 consisting of four thrust producing elements, two in front 3 and two in rear 4. Each front thrust producing element 3 contains at least one front rotor 5 operated by at least one front electric motor, fixed on a fuselage 10. Each rear thrust producing element 4 contains at least one rear rotor 7 driven by at least a rear electric motor 8, fixed on the fuselage 10. On the fuselage 10 is attached symmetrically a front wing 12. On the fuselage 10 is attached symmetrically a rear wing 13. The wing 12 and 13 are used also in static conditions respectively in take-off and landing.
