There is provided a vertical take-off and landing aircraft including: a propulsion mechanism for generating lift and thrust; a power supply unit (e.g. an engine as a power source) for supplying power to the propulsion mechanism; a main frame for supporting the engine, a seat, and a landing undercarriage; a sub-frame for supporting the propulsion mechanism; a frame coupling unit for rotatably coupling the main frame and the sub-frame; and a control stick connected to the sub-frame, so that an occupant sitting on a seat operates a control stick thereby to move the sub-frame relative to the main frame so as to change the orientation of the propulsion mechanism.
