Novel wing apparatus

A novel wing design comprising:

• a cambered airfoil having a root for connecting to an aircraft surface, a tip opposite the root, a leading edge, and a trailing edge;
• a thrust-lift system disposed in the wing adjacent to and outboard of the root, wherein the thrust-lift system comprises an electric motor having a drive shaft, wherein the drive shaft is connected to a first clutch connected to a first control hub, further connected to a set of axial fan blades, and wherein the drive shaft is further connected to a second clutch connected to a second hub connected to centrifugal fan blades, wherein the thrust-lift system is further enclosed in a housing having a top port, a bottom port, and an exhaust port, wherein the axial fan blades draw air through the top port and directs it through the wing through the bottom port generating lift, wherein the centrifugal fan blades draw air through the top port and directs it into the exhaust port wherein the exhaust port further comprises an internal control surface for directing exhaust air created by the centrifugal fan blades, wherein the axial fan blades provide vertical lift and the centrifugal blades create exhaust air for horizontal thrust;
• and
• a control unit connected to the motor, first clutch, second clutch, and internal control surface to selectively operate the motor, first clutch, second clutch, and internal control surface.
