A compact lift generating system is provided. The lift generating system embodies a wind tunnel enclosure extending between an inlet and an outlet. An airflow generator may be fluidly coupled to the enclosure inlet, an intake of a feedback conduit may be fluidly associated with the enclosure outlet, and an airfoil disposed therebetween. Airflow is urged to engage the airfoil, producing lift. The airflow generator may include a fan, an amplifier and an air knife fluidly coupled in series, wherein an output end of the feedback conduit fluidly connects between the airflow generator and the amplifier. A plurality of wind tunnels enclosures may be operatively associated in series. A plurality of airfoils may be provided in a stacked orientation in one wind tunnel enclosure.
