A personal aircraft vehicle includes a compartment having a platform on which the single operator stands and a drive system which includes jet engines located at the tips of flexible, extensible rotor blades secured to a rotatable drum. The blades extend through slots in an outer shroud which is selectively clutched to the drum to control deployment of the blades. The drum serves as a fuel tank and fuel is supplied to the engines through tubing in the blades. The craft is controlled during flight by the drive engines and the operator through the shifting of his weight within the compartment.
