A lift device is disclosed that can be used to provide vertical lift to an aircraft or other vehicle. The lift device can include a fan that produces an airflow and a vane box that can direct the airflow. In one form the fan can be oriented at an angle relative to a reference plane in the aircraft. In another form the vane box can be oriented at an angle. The vane box can be structured to provide a maximum flow area between an aft flow vector and a forward flow vector.
