A rotor blown wing (RBW) aircraft including an airframe, at least one rotor blown wing (RBW) having at least control selectively controllable surface, at least one rotor configured to generate and direct an airflow over the at least one RBW, and a control system operatively connected to the at least two selectively controllable control surfaces. The control system selectively controls the at least one selectively controllable control surface to change the airflow over the at least one RBW to facilitate a vertical landing.
