At this time, the aircraft has been changed into a shape close to that of a conventional fixed-wing aircraft.

[0026] Further, if Figure 1 Figure 2 Figure 8 As shown, the aircraft continues to accelerate and rise, and the rudders on the left tail 12 and the right tail 14 are manipulated to adjust the aircraft to a level flight cruising attitude. During the level flight cruising process, the aircraft can be manipulated according to the conventional fixed-wing aircraft manipulation method.

[0027] Further, if Figure 1 Figure 2 Figure 8 As shown, when flying forward to a high altitude close to the destination, the rudders on the left tail 12 and the right tail 14 are manipulated to adjust the aircraft to a vertical attitude.

[0028] Further, if Figure 2 Figure 5 Figure 8 As shown, the rear screw stepping motor 5 is started to drive the rear screw 23 to leave the positioning column hole 24 to unlock the movable body 2.

[0029] Further, if Figure 2 Figure 8 As shown, the coaxial reverse propeller power device 26 is controlled to slowly descend the aircraft until the tail seat touches the ground.

[0030] Further, if Figure 2 Figure 4 Figure 8 As shown, the coaxial reverse propeller power device 26 is controlled to make the body 1 continue to descend. Due to the effect of gravity, the movable body 2 is retracted into the body 1 during the descent of the body 1 until the tail wings contact the body 1. At this time, the positioning column 20 moves to a predetermined position corresponding to the front screw stepper motor 4, and the front screw stepper motor 4 is started to insert the front screw 25 into the positioning column hole 24 to lock the movable body 2.

[0031] Further, if Figure 1 Figure 8 As shown, after the aircraft is stabilized at a stop, the coaxial reverse propeller power device 26 is shut down, and the flight process ends.
