According to the invention, a vertical take-off aircraft is provided with a number of compressors arranged to produce vertical lift forces, each such vertical lift compressor incorporating a driving turbine and each such driving turbine being connected by a duct to a further compressor so that the driving turbine is driven by the air compressed by the further compressor, the further compressor being driven by a "free" turbine forming part of a gas turbine engine arranged for the forward propulsion of the aircraft.
