1. An aircraft comprising:
a fuselage;
a front wing connected to a front portion of the fuselage and configured to generate lift when the aircraft moves in a horizontal direction;
a rear wing connected to a rear portion of the fuselage and configured to generate lift when the aircraft moves in the horizontal direction;
four or more rotors configured to generate lift;
a pair of bar members disposed so as to be bilaterally symmetrical about a position overlapping a central axis of the fuselage in plan view,
wherein
the four or more rotors include:
a pair of first rotors disposed forward of the front wing so as to be bilaterally symmetrical about the position overlapping the central axis of the fuselage in plan view; and
two or more second rotors disposed between the front wing and the rear wing so as to be bilaterally symmetrical about the position overlapping the central axis of the fuselage in the plan view,
a distance between the fuselage and each of the second rotors in a width direction is longer than a distance between the fuselage and each of the first rotors in the width direction,
the pair of bar members are connected to the front wing and the rear wing, are curved outward in the width direction, and support the pair of first rotors and the two or more second rotors, and
a middle portion of each of the pair of bar members between end portions of each of the pair of bar members is located further outward in the width direction of the aircraft than the end portions.
