    Abstract: This is a Vertical/Short Takeoff and Landing (VSTOL) vehicle for personal transportation of at least one person, to a destination. The four main engine-driven rotors or propellers are pivot-mounted and can be varied in angular position. The main engines are operated by a vector-control system permitting the thrust of the vehicle engines to change from horizontal to vertical and vice versa for takeoff, forward or backwards flight, and landing procedures. This vehicle is also capable of hovering, ascending, and descending during flight. The other four rotors or propellers are mounted at fixed positions, two at the rear, and two at the front, of the vehicle. The vehicle also consists of landing gear of virtually any type.
