    Abstract: An aircraft (10) includes a fuselage (12) having a longitudinal axis (20), a wing assembly(24), and a fuselage positioning mechanism (50) operatively connecting the fuselage to the wing assembly. The fuselage positioning mechanism is operable to move the fuselage relative to the wing assembly in a longitudinal direction parallel to the longitudinal axis between a fuselage maximum forward position and a fuselage maximum aft position. When preparing the aircraft for flight, a position of a center of gravity of the aircraft relative to a center of lift is determined. The fuselage can be moved relative to the wing assembly to bring the center of gravity within an allowable range of distances from the center of lift to balance the aircraft for flight. The fuselage positioning mechanism can be automated to allow adjustment of the fuselage position during the flight of the aircraft.

    Abstract: An aerial vehicle (100) includes a fuselage (120), a wing (110), and a wing shift device (150). The wing shift device (150) is configured to be coupled to the fuselage (120). The wing shift device (150) comprises plurality of apertures (Fig. 2, 215, 305) for coupling the wing (110) to the aerial vehicle (100). The plurality of apertures (Fig. 2, 215, 305) are configured to permit the wing (110) to be shifted in a forward or aft direction along the fuselage (120) based on a center of gravity (160) of the aerial vehicle (100).
