Abstract

See full text

A vehicle includes a main body and at least one wing coupled to the main body. A source of compressed fluid is coupled to the main body. The vehicle further includes first and second thrusters, each said first and second thruster having an intake structure and each said first and second thruster in fluid communication with the source. The first thruster is coupled to the main body and the second thruster is coupled to the at least one wing. The first and second thrusters are positioned, when in a first configuration, such that at least a portion of a boundary layer produced due to motion of the vehicle is ingested by the intake structures of the first and second thrusters. The vehicle further includes a system for selectively providing the compressed fluid to the first and second thrusters.
