Abstract
An electric vertical take-off and landing vehicle includes a fuselage containing an internal compartment which may be used to transport a person, animal, or object. The fuselage includes a canard located at a forward portion of the fuselage in front of the internal compartment. A pair of wings extend outward from the fuselage wherein each of the pair of wings contains a propulsion unit configured to provide thrust. It is desired that each propulsion unit is in fixed orientation to the fuselage and the pair of wings. A landing foot is also included and configured to rotate the fuselage into and out of a vertical orientation when on the ground. The internal compartment of the fuselage is configured to rotate to maintain an upright orientation as the fuselage is at its various orientations.

An electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft, comprising:
- a fuselage;
- a canard located at a forward portion of the fuselage;
- and
- a pair of wings extending outward from the fuselage, each of the pair of wings contains a propulsion unit configured to provide thrust, each propulsion unit is in fixed orientation to the fuselage and the pair of wings and is specifically positioned to enable controlled vertical hover and horizontal flight;
- an internal compartment in the fuselage;
- wherein the propulsion units are located at the tip of the pair of wings to permit access into and out of the internal compartment in both a vertical orientation and a horizontal orientation.
