an engine configured to drive the generator;
a first rotor configured to generate thrust in a vertical direction;
a second rotor configured to generate thrust in the vertical direction;
a first electric motor configured to drive the first rotor;
a second electric motor configured to drive the second rotor;
a first harness that is at least partially wired inside the wing and is configured to transmit the electric power generated by the generator to the first electric motor; and
a second harness that is at least partially wired inside the wing and is configured to transmit the electric power generated by the generator to the second electric motor,
wherein the engine is arranged in a manner so that the engine overlaps the wing in a front-rear direction of the fuselage,
