Lift propulsion and stabilizing system and procedure for vertical takeoff and landing aircraft that consists in applying simultaneously and combined as lifters during the initial portion of the climb and at the end of the descent of: a) some fans or electric turbines, EDF, and b) at least one rotor with external blades and/or rotary and/or c) the engine flow directed downwards and/or d) pressure air jets injected on leading edges control fins, and/or e) water jets and/or f) supplemented with aerodynamic lift produced during frontal advance of the aircraft, the stabilization is achieved by the gyroscopic stiffness of the rotor and two or more lifting fans oscillating fins and/or air jets located on two or stabilizers more peripheral points in a plane perpendicular to the vertical axis of the aircraft.
