A variable thrust cross-flow fan system (30) for an aircraft (10) including a rotatable wing member (60) having a first housing member (60a); an actuator assembly (71) operably coupled to the first housing member (60a); and a variable thrust cross-flow fan assembly (70) including a first and second driver plates (204, 206) having a plurality of blades (210a-g) rotatably mounted therebetween. The plurality of blades (210a-g) has a circular path of travel when rotating and includes a control assembly coupled to the plurality of blades (210a-g) to generate a variable thrust force. The control assembly includes a control cam (230) that is substantially non-rotatable relative to the first and second driver plates (204, 206) and a hinge member (831) that is fixedly connected to the control cam (230) and to the first housing member (60a) at a hinge axis. Rotation of the first housing member (60a) by the actuator assembly (71) imparts rotation of the control cam (230) about the hinge axis, thereby changing the direction of the variable thrust force.
