Abstract
A flying vehicle includes a first rotor assembly, a second rotor assembly and a second rotor assembly pylon arranged to mount the second rotor assembly to the remainder of the flying vehicle. The first rotor assembly and the second rotor assembly are located so that they are spaced in a longitudinal direction of the flying vehicle and so they are substantially on a vertical plane that is parallel to a vertical plane aligned with a longitudinal axis of the flying vehicle. The first rotor assembly includes a tilt-rotor arranged to tilt between delivery of substantially vertical flight thrust and substantially conventional flight thrust. The second rotor assembly includes a stacked plurality of substantially vertical thrust rotors mounted to the pylon so as to be substantially to the same side of the pylon.
