Abstract
A vertical take-off and landing aircraft is configured so as to provide, when landing tail-first with its fuselage (1) in a generally vertical attitude, a touchdown area (21) at the tail of the aircraft at a position offset from a line extending along the length of the fuselage through the centre of gravity (23) of the aircraft such that after the touchdown area contacts a landing surface the aircraft topples under the action of gravity to bring an undercarriage (11, 13) of the aircraft into contact with the landing surface, thereby to attain a stable landed position.
