A craft capable of a vertical take-off and landing configuration and a horizontal thrust configuration may include, for example, at least a proprotor, an edgewise blade, and a body. The proprotor may be configured to tilt to achieve a horizontal thrust component. A portion of a lift surface may be configured to tilt with the proprotor. In some embodiments, the vertical take-off and/or landing craft may further comprise a tail connected to a first boom and a second boom. In some embodiments, the vertical take-off and/or landing craft may further comprise a tail attached to the body. In some embodiments, the craft includes four rotors positioned on the lift surface and two rotors positioned on a tail connected to the lift surface.
