Abstract

By blowing a blanket of air over an air vehicle's or craft's wings or top surfaces, the static pressure over the wings or top surfaces decreases (Bernouli's theorem). With the pressure over the vehicle's or craft's wings or top surfaces decreased sufficiently the air pressure underneath the vehicle or craft pushes it upwards. Thus vehicles or crafts using the above principle can take off and land vertically. Blowing air over appropriate surfaces of the vehicles or crafts enables the air pressure to propel or push the said vehicles or crafts forward or in any direction. Also applicable to under water craft, blowing water over the upper surfaces. <IMAGE>
