A zero transition vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft, which is stable in all levels of flight, especially the transition phase from vertical to horizontal flight. The zero transition VTOL aircraft is capable of achieving both vertical and horizontal flight without changing the positioning of thrusters, such as through the use of tiltable or rotatable nacelles or wings. Rather a front thruster assembly and a rear thruster assembly are positioned at specific angles in relation to each other along at least one fuselage in order to generate the desired ratio of vertical to horizontal thrust. At least one wing is also positioned at a specific wing angle in order to achieve a desired angle of attack when in horizontal flight. The attitude of the zero transition VTOL aircraft can be controlled through the use of differential thrust alone, or in conjunction with control surfaces. |
