This invention discloses a short takeoff / vertical landing (STOVL) aircraft with a hybrid propulsion system. It employs a fuselage frame as the main load-bearing structure, combined with an aerodynamic layout of all-moving canards, main wings, mid-section wings, and twin vertical tails. The hybrid propulsion system comprises four sets of cross-rotating motor-propellers and thrust-direction-adjustable STOVL level flight engines. The engines operate throughout the entire flight, while the motor-propellers are only engaged during STOVL and mode switching. Through linear adjustment of motor power, coordinated changes in engine thrust direction and magnitude, and speed-dependent aerodynamic lift of the wings, seamless and smooth transitions are achieved between STOVL / hovering, mode switching, high-speed level flight, and payload modes. Compared to existing technologies, this design reduces structural dead weight and control complexity, extends endurance, and balances STOVL flexibility with high-speed cruise efficiency.
