    摘要: An aircraft having counter-rotating, ring-type wing rotors that are driven by engines (31) located at the wing tips is disclosed. The aircraft incorporates large span, high aspect ratio wings that are configured in a joined-tip design to improve the structural characteristics of the wings. One of the wings (13) counter-rotates inside the other wing (21) to enable vertical take-off and landing. The wings may comprise elliptical shapes, each having upper (15) and lower (17) sections that are separated from each other.
