A vertical take-off and landing aircraft with a multi-element lifting system with integrated propulsion. The multi-element lifting system may have an upper wing element, a lower wing element, and a control wing element which is located below the upper wing element and above, and rearward of, the lower wing element. The system uses internal propulsion units, such as internal ducted fans, which flow air below the upper wing element and above the lower wing element such that the air flows through the multi-element lifting system. The control wing element may be articulated to route air vertically downward to allow for short or vertical take-off and landing. An aircraft with a multi-element wing assembly and a multi-element tail assembly raised above the wing assembly. An aircraft which resides on the ground with the wing assembly and the tail assembly pitched up.
