Abstract: A restructurable hybrid-wing VTOL aircraft includes a fuselage, two wings, two canard wings and a cabin door. The two wings are provided to opposite sides of the fuselage. Each the wing is provided vertically and symmetrically by two rotary wing modules, and thus an H configuration to the fuselage can be formed. While the lower rotary wing module rotates to align the corresponding wing, a change of relative position with respect to the upper rotary wing module can be generated.
