A system for providing lift, propulsion and control for an aircraft vehicle that facilitates vertical take-off and landing/short take-off and landing operations is described. The system is configured to provide an airfoil that has a leading and a trailing edge, a cross flow fan partially embedded in the airfoil and mounted adjacent to the trailing edge of the airfoil and an exit duct for the cross flow fan to provide distributed flow along the trailing edge of the system to achieve high propulsive efficiency in forward flight and a substantially vertical jet for vertical take-off and landing.
