This invention relates to an airplane capable of hovering, hyper-short takeoff and landing (hyper-STOL) and vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) while assuming a positive pitch angle. The airplane comprises at least a pair of wings, at least one vertical propulsor, and at least two horizontal propulsors whose thrust vectors are tiltable with a tilt angle that is adjustable from 0° to 76° relative to the airplane's longitudinal axis when viewed from a side view. The impeller of the vertical propulsor may be fixed-pitch or variable-pitch.
