A propulsion and lift system (100) for an aircraft (10) includes a wing (110) having an outboard end (108) and a pylon assembly (102) coupled to the outboard end (108) of the wing (110). The propulsion and lift system (100) also includes a wing extension (112) rotatably coupled to the outboard end (108) of the pylon assembly (102). The wing extension (112) is rotatable between a flight position in a flight mode and a stow position in a storage mode. The wing extension (112) folds inboard in the stow position, thereby reducing a wingspan of the aircraft (10) in the storage mode.
