ABSTRACT:
An aircraft with a long body1which has a forward end2and an aft end3, which is able to achieve vertical take-off by means of a tilt-able rotor and blade assembly4at the forward part of the aircraft and a tilt-able turbojet19at the rear of the aircraft. The rotor and blade assembly is rotated by an engine assembly8, with the engine assembly, the rotor and blades all positioned on top a multi-directional tilt enabling joint9. The turbojet is fitted to a multi-directional tilt enabling joint27to allow control of lateral movement of the aircraft as well as providing vertical lift and forward propulsion during forward flight. The turbojet is connected to the tilt enabling joint27by a rivet30such that the turbojet can be rotated relative to the tilt enabling joint.
