Abstract: A control method for controlling a yaw angle ?z and a roll angle ?x of a vertical take-off aircraft comprising at least two drive groups arranged in opposite side regions of the aircraft so as to be spaced apart from a fuselage of the aircraft is presented. Each drive group comprises at least one first drive unit. The first drive unit is arranged so as to be spaced apart from the fuselage to pivot about a pivot angle ? into a horizontal flight position and a vertical flight position.

Abstract: An alignment device aligns a piece good part, which is received by a cable winch, relative to a yaw axis of an aircraft. An alignment member is fastened on an underside of the aircraft, and an alignment mating part fixed to the piece good part. In use, the alignment mating part has an alignment lug pointing towards the aircraft. The alignment member has a guide track having a sliding surface facing the alignment mating part. When the alignment mating part is displaced towards the aircraft, the alignment lug of the alignment mating part abuts the sliding surface through retraction of the cable winch. During further axial displacement of the alignment mating part towards the aircraft, through further retraction of the cable winch, the alignment lug slides along the sliding surface. This causes the alignment mating part to rotate and align the piece good part with the aircraft.
