1. A wing-engine corotating vertical takeoff and landing aircraft with partially fixed wings, comprising an aircraft fuselage, and front wings and rear wings arranged on the aircraft fuselage, wherein each of the front wings and the rear wings comprises a fixed wing connected with the aircraft fuselage, and a tiltwing is hinged with an end, away from the aircraft fuselage, of the fixed wing; a rotational axis of the tiltwing extends horizontally inward and is perpendicular to an axis of the aircraft fuselage, each tiltwing is provided with a propeller tilting along with the tiltwing; geometrically, one end of a rotating shaft of the propeller is arranged on the tiltwing, an other end of the rotating shaft of the propeller extends along an advancing or ascending direction of the aircraft fuselage, and the rotating shaft forms a negative angle with respect to a plane where the tiltwing is located;
wherein an overall length of each of the front wings is greater than an overall length of each of the rear wings, and each propeller is located at an end, away from a corresponding fixed wing, of each tiltwing, rotation directions of two propellers on a front side are opposite, rotation directions of two propellers on a rear side are opposite, rotation directions of two propellers at diagonal positions are same, and a distance between one of the two propellers on the front side and a corresponding one of the two propellers on the rear side along an axis direction of the fuselage is close to a spacing between the two propellers on the front side;
wherein the front wings and the rear wings require a certain extent of torsion, and a torsional trend is that setting angles of airfoils decrease by degrees from a wing root to a wing tip; and
wherein each of the front wings as a whole is of a forward-swept wing component, a forward-swept angle of the front wing at one end, near the wing root, of the front wing is ranged from π/12 to 5π/12, and a forward-swept angle of the front wing at an other end, near the wing tip, of the front wing is smaller than that near the wing root and is greater than zero.
