An aircraft includes a fuselage and takeoff and landing wings that are extended at takeoff and landing and serve as the main aerodynamic elements producing the lift. The takeoff and landing wings are in a retracted position in cruising flight to attain a minimum possible drag coefficient of the aircraft and, as a result, reduce fuel requirements in the cruising configuration significantly. When retracted, the takeoff and landing wings are integrated compactly into the fuselage surface. The retracted takeoff and landing wings are fixed in position by retracted position locks of the fuselage. A takeoff and landing wing has a turbine blade profile in cross-section. A takeoff and landing wing has longitudinal rows of slots simulating the operation of a slat and a two-slot flap. The slots are closed with shutters on the outer side of the wing.
