    • An aircraft (1) comprises at least two propulsion units (4, 5) being pivotable provided on the aircraft (1), the propulsion units (4, 5) being arranged adjacent to each other along an arrangement direction and respectively comprising: a propulsion rotor (41) being rotatable about a rotation axis (42), configured to contribute in thrust generation, and configured to suck air along an airflow direction substantially perpendicular to the arrangement direction; a duct (43) configured to guide air to the propulsion rotor, the duct (43) comprises a non-circular inlet portion (44), a circular downstream portion (47) being substantially circular about the rotation axis (42) and being located downstream of the inlet portion (44) along the airflow direction, and an air guiding portion (46) guiding air from the non-circular inlet portion (44) to the circular downstream portion (47) and establishing the transition therebetween, the air guiding portion (46) having an upper (46a) and a lower air guiding portion (46b) which are spaced apart from each other and provided on respective upper and lower sides of the rotation axis (42). In order to enhance performance, the aircraft (1) further comprises at least one septum (7) which is interposed between two rotation axes (42) of two adjacent propulsion rotors (41), the at least one septum (7) extending on the upstream side along the airflow direction with respect to the circular downstream portion (47) and between the upper and lower air guiding portions (46a, 46b), the at least one septum having a guiding surface (71) having at least one tangential plane parallel to the rotation axis (42), and preferably perpendicular to the arrangement direction.
