Lift enhancement assembly of an aerial vehicle with fixed wings

A lift assembly (300) on an aerial vehicle, the lift assembly (300) comprising:

• a wing (102) comprising a leading edge (108), a trailing edge (110), and a chord (117);
• and
• a vertical rotor (118) having a vertical axis (121) disposed below the wing (102);
• wherein:
• a position of the vertical axis (121) is disposed at a placement distance (122) from the leading edge (108) of the wing (102) of at least a distance of the chord (117) at the trailing edge (110) of the wing (102);
• the vertical rotor (118) is operational during a forward flight of the aerial vehicle;
• the placement distance (122), defined as a distance between the leading edge (108) and the vertical axis (121) of the vertical rotor (118), is determined by an operational RPM of the vertical rotor (118), an angle of attack (116) of the wing (102), and the wing chord (117) of the wing (102);
• a combined effect of wing (102) and the vertical rotor (118) in operation provides a higher lift coefficient compared to a sum of a first lift coefficient of the wing (102) and a second lift coefficient of the vertical rotor (118) when operated individually.
