Stowing systems and methods to disassemble, store, and/or protect an aircraft, and in particular a VTOL aircraft, for transportation along standard public roadways. A stowing system attaches to the aircraft in a flight-ready state, and guides, supports, and/or stabilizes sub-assemblies of the aircraft as they are removed and moved into their stowed positions in preparation for transportation. In some embodiments, the stowing system is implemented as a trailer. The trailer, in some embodiments, is towable by car, such that the aircraft can be carried on and transported with the car and trailer by road. In some embodiments, the stowing system defines landing platform for the aircraft. It may provide facilities to help direct the aircraft to a precise location allowing support elements of the stowing system to be moved to engage with sub-assemblies of the aircraft along predefined degrees of freedom.
