An aircraft has a bearing structure, the bearing structure having at least one central fuselage and two pylons each situated at a distance laterally from the fuselage. In addition, the aircraft has a wing structure, at least four hub rotors, and at least one thrust drive. Each hub rotor is fastened to the bearing structure, has a propeller having two propeller blades, and produces, through rotation of the propeller, an upward drive force acting in the vertical direction on the aircraft. The thrust drive is produces a thrust force acting in the horizontal direction on the bearing structure. The pylons each have two hub rotors, the hub rotors being configured to arrest respective propeller blades of a hub rotor in a position relative to the pylons. In the arrested position, the propeller blades of a hub rotor do not extend beyond the outer dimensions of the pylons.
