Multimodal unmanned aerial systems having tiltable wings

A rotorcraft comprising:

• a fuselage forming a payload bay;
• a control wing forward of the fuselage including a first plurality of proprotor assemblies;
• a primary wing aft of the fuselage including a second plurality of proprotor assemblies, the primary wing having a greater wingspan than the control wing;
• and
• a plurality of linkages rotatably coupling the fuselage to the control wing and the primary wing;
• wherein, the fuselage, the control wing and the primary wing are rotatable in a range of motion of approximately 180 degrees;
• and
• wherein, the fuselage, the control wing and the primary wing are configured to synchronously rotate between a vertical takeoff and landing flight mode, a forward flight mode and an aftward flight mode, the fuselage, the control wing and the primary wing substantially vertical in the vertical takeoff and landing flight mode and substantially horizontal in the forward flight mode and the aftward flight mode, the control wing trailing the primary wing in the aftward flight mode.
