A system and assembly allowing vertical take off and landing (VTOL) operations for winged aircraft may include a housing and one or more rotors. The rotors may be positioned within slots on the housing, each slot having an upper and lower aperture to allow airflow. The rotors may be connected to a control system in the cockpit to allow for control over the angle and power of the rotors during flight. A protective cover may be placed over one or both of the apertures, the covers being either slidably or hingedly openable. A supporting member may provide space between the aircraft and the housing. The system may be retrofitted to existing aircraft, or included in their manufacture. The system is intended for use with personal small aircraft, military aircraft, and commercial airliners.
