Electric VTOL aircraft with tilting propellers and lifting propellers

A system comprising:

• an airframe comprising a fuselage and at least one wing connected to the fuselage;
• and
• a propulsion system comprising at least four tilting electric propulsion assemblies and at least two lifting electric propulsion assemblies;
• wherein the at least four tilting electric propulsion assemblies include a first nacelle tilting propulsion assembly and a second nacelle tilting propulsion assembly each disposed at nacelles located at tips of each of the at least one wing;
• wherein the at least four tilting electric propulsion assemblies include a first sponson tilting propulsion assembly and a second sponson tilting propulsion assembly, wherein the first sponson tilting propulsion assembly and the second sponson tilting propulsion assembly are disposed on a first sponson and a second sponson, respectively, wherein each of the first sponson and the second sponson is located on the wing;
• and
• wherein the at least two lifting electric propulsion assemblies include a first sponson lifting propulsion assembly and a second sponson lifting propulsion assembly, wherein the first sponson lifting propulsion assembly and the second sponson lifting propulsion assembly are disposed on the first sponson and the second sponson, respectively,
• wherein at least the first nacelle tilting propulsion assembly, the second nacelle tilting propulsion assembly, the first sponson tilting propulsion assembly, and the second sponson tilting propulsion assembly are configured to rotate between a vertical lift configuration, a forward propulsion configuration, and one or more tilt configurations.
