Parallel and series multi-stage electric fan

An aircraft comprising:

• a fuselage;
• a main wing attached to the fuselage;
• and
• a plurality of propulsion systems configured to generate thrust, wherein each of the propulsion systems comprise a plurality of propulsor fans configured to rotate between a conventional take-off and landing (CTOL) flight mode, a short take-off and landing (STOL) flight mode, and a vertical take-off and a landing (VTOL) flight mode, and wherein a first propulsion system, of the plurality of propulsion systems, is vertically offset from a second propulsion system of the plurality of propulsion systems;
• and
• a non-transitory-computer readable medium comprising computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to at least:
• receive a control signal configured to selectively actuate the plurality of propulsor fans such that each of the plurality of propulsor fans are actuated with a progressively steeper angle relative to a linear axis along a length of the fuselage, such that a downwind positioned propulsor fan is articulated to a greater angle than an upwind positioned propulsor fan angle when transitioning from the CTOL flight mode to one of either the STOL flight mode or the VTOL flight mode.
