This invention is an aircraft of the type known as a “Convertiplane” which can conduct vertical flight operations in the manner of a rotor-wing aircraft and conduct cruise flight operations in the manner of a fixed-wing aircraft. This aircraft has rotor blades mounted on each wingtip and tilting propulsors mounted at the tips of the horizontal stabilizers on the aircraft tail. The wingtip mounted rotor blades and vertically oriented tail propulsors provide thrust for vertical takeoff. To transition to cruise flight, at sufficient airspeed, the wingtip rotors are stopped and moved from the rotor-wing position to a “V” configuration extending out from the wingtips to function as ailerons, while the tail mounted propulsors are tilted forward from a vertical to a horizontal orientation to provide thrust for forward flight
