ABSTRACT:
A vertical takeoff and landing heavier-than-air aircraft that includes a gyroscopic airfoil in the airstream of a ducted fan to cause vertical lift to the aircraft. The gyroscopic foil is both rotatably and pivotally attached to the aircraft such that it can be titled to provide directional control of the aircraft and, in at least one embodiment, has an adjustable airfoil forming part of the gyroscopic device such that the lift can be varied.
