An aircraft propulsion system utilizes a rotary engine to drive a centrifugal fan providing a thrust vector that is generally orthogonal to an axis of rotation of the rotary engine and the fan. The aircraft propulsion system may be mounted, for example, in the wing of a fixed-wing aircraft with the rotary engine and the centrifugal fan rotating about an axis of rotation that is generally parallel to a yaw axis of the aircraft.
