Abstract: In an embodiment, a vertical-lift augmentation system for an aircraft includes a fan bank mounted to the aircraft in proximity to a wing of the aircraft, where the fan bank may include at least one fan. The vertical-lift augmentation system also includes a panel movably attached to the aircraft in relation to the fan bank, where the panel is adjustable between at least a first position in which the panel encloses the fan bank in the aircraft and a second position in which the panel at least partially exposes the fan bank.
