Present invention relates to a lift assembly (300) in an aerial vehicle. The lift assembly (300) comprises a wing (102) and at least a vertical rotor (118) disposed below the wing (102). A vertical axis (121) of the vertical rotor (118) is positioned within a wing span of the wing (102). The vertical rotor (118) is operational during forward flight of the aerial vehicle. A placement distance (122) between the leading edge (108) and the vertical axis (121) of the vertical rotor (118) is a factor of RPM of the rotor (118), angle of attack (116) of the wing, and a wing chord (117). The lift assembly (300) produces enhanced lift higher than the sum of lift produced by the wing (102) and the rotor (118) individually, which enables the provision of small wings and hence incur reduced drag.
