Zusammenfassung:An aerodyne comprises a fuselage, a fixed wing , a thruster for cruising flight, and a rotary wing for stages of vertical flight and held stationary during cruising flight. The rotary wing includes at least two contrarotating single-blades disposed at the top of the fuselage and hinged about respective axes perpendicular to the rotor axes of rotation. A maneuvering procedure for maneuvering the aerodyne includes a transition stage between a stage of vertical flight and a stage of cruising flight, wherein in the transition stage, when the speed of each single-blade is less than a threshold speed of rotation, the pitch of each single-blade is such that it no longer provides any lift force and the transverse hinge of the single-blade to its rotor axis is held locked in a position such that the single-blade is perpendicular to the rotor shaft.
