An improved rotorcraft of the type having a fuselage and a set of N≥4 rotors. The rotorcraft includes a structural support system affixed to the fuselage and mounting the set of rotors. The support system is configured as a set of airfoils that provide lift when the fuselage is in level flight. The fuselage has a central longitudinal axis that defines the direction of forward flight of the rotorcraft. Each of the rotors defines a corresponding rotational plane, that is tilted forward in the direction of the forward flight, when the central longitudinal axis of the fuselage is horizontal. Each airfoil may be positioned so that a majority of its length is disposed beneath the rotational plane of its corresponding rotor. When the rotorcraft is at a cruise speed, the airfoils are configured to provide lift that approximately matches the lift provided by the rotors.
