Description

FIG. 1 is a front, left side perspective view of a vertical takeoff and landing aircraft showing our new design with wings of the vertical takeoff and landing aircraft in a first configuration, wherein the front, right side perspective view is a mirror image of the front, left side perspective view except for the door on a left side;

FIG. 2 is a rear, left side perspective view of the vertical takeoff and landing aircraft illustrated in FIG. 1, wherein the rear, right side perspective view is a mirror image of the rear, left side perspective view except for the door on the left side;

FIG. 3 is a front elevation view of the vertical takeoff and landing aircraft illustrated in FIG. 1;

FIG. 4 is a rear elevation view of the vertical takeoff and landing aircraft illustrated in FIG. 1;

FIG. 5 is a left side elevation view of the vertical takeoff and landing aircraft illustrated in FIG. 1;

FIG. 6 is a right side elevation view of the vertical takeoff and landing aircraft illustrated in FIG. 1;

FIG. 7 is a top elevation view of the vertical takeoff and landing aircraft illustrated in FIG. 1;

FIG. 8 is a bottom elevation view of the vertical takeoff and landing aircraft illustrated in FIG. 1;

FIG. 9 is a front, left side perspective view of the vertical takeoff and landing aircraft of FIGS. 1-8 with the wings of the vertical takeoff and landing aircraft in a second configuration, wherein the front, right side perspective view is a mirror image of the front, left side perspective view except for the door on the left side;

FIG. 10 is a rear, left side perspective view of the vertical takeoff and landing aircraft illustrated in FIG. 9, wherein the rear, right side perspective view is a mirror image of the rear, left side perspective view except for the door on the left side;

FIG. 11 is a front elevation view of the vertical takeoff and landing aircraft illustrated in FIG. 9;

FIG. 12 is a rear elevation view of the vertical takeoff and landing aircraft illustrated in FIG. 9;

FIG. 13 is a left side elevation view of the vertical takeoff and landing aircraft illustrated in FIG. 9;

FIG. 14 is a right side elevation view of the vertical takeoff and landing aircraft illustrated in FIG. 9;

FIG. 15 is a front, left side perspective view of the vertical takeoff and landing aircraft of FIGS. 1-16 with the wings of the vertical takeoff and landing aircraft in a transition configuration between the first configuration and the second configuration of the vertical takeoff and landing aircraft, in which the wings transition together;

FIG. 16 is a front elevation view of the vertical takeoff and landing aircraft illustrated in FIG. 15;

FIG. 17 is a rear elevation view of the vertical takeoff and landing aircraft illustrated in FIG. 15;

FIG. 18 is a left side elevation view of the vertical takeoff and landing aircraft illustrated in FIG. 15;

FIG. 19 is a right side elevation view of the vertical takeoff and landing aircraft illustrated in FIG. 15;

FIG. 20 is a front, left side perspective view of the vertical takeoff and landing aircraft of FIG. 1, in which the front, right side perspective view is a mirror image, with surface mesh lines drawn in for reference to illustrate surface contours of aircraft-in which the wings transition separately;

FIG. 21 is a front elevation view of the vertical takeoff and landing aircraft illustrated in FIG. 20;

FIG. 22 is a rear elevation view of the vertical takeoff and landing aircraft illustrated in FIG. 20;

FIG. 23 is a left side elevation view of the vertical takeoff and landing aircraft illustrated in FIG. 20; and,

FIG. 24 is a right side elevation view of the vertical takeoff and landing aircraft illustrated in FIG. 20.

The dash-dot-dot-dash broken lines are for the purpose of illustrating portions of the vertical takeoff and landing vehicle in which line impressions are caused by surface contours. The dash-dash-dash broken lines showing portions of the propellers are for the purpose of illustrating portions of the vertical takeoff and landing vehicle and forms no part of the claimed design.
