A vehicle includes a main body and a gas generator producing a gas stream. At least one fore conduit and tail conduit are fluidly coupled to the generator. First and second fore ejectors are fluidly coupled to the at least one fore conduit. At least one tail ejector is fluidly coupled to the at least one tail conduit. The fore ejectors respectively include an outlet structure out of which gas from the at least one fore conduit flows. The at least one tail ejector includes an outlet structure out of which gas from the at least one tail conduit flows. First and second primary airfoil elements have leading edges respectively located directly downstream of the first and second fore ejectors. At least one secondary airfoil element has a leading edge located directly downstream of the outlet structure of the at least one tail ejector.

A propulsion system coupled to a vehicle. The system includes a convex surface, a diffusing structure coupled to the convex surface, and at least one conduit coupled to the convex surface. The conduit is configured to introduce to the convex surface a primary fluid produced by the vehicle. The system further includes an intake structure coupled to the convex surface and configured to introduce to the diffusing structure a secondary fluid accessible to the vehicle. The diffusing structure comprises a terminal end configured to provide egress from the system for the introduced primary fluid and secondary fluid.

A propulsion system coupled to a vehicle. The system includes an ejector having an outlet structure out of which propulsive fluid flows at a predetermined adjustable velocity. A control surface having a leading edge is located directly downstream of the outlet structure such that propulsive fluid from the ejector flows over the control surface.

An aerial craft and sealed force vectoring flight system is disclosed. The aerial craft includes a main body hull, lift jets, a generator, an electrical re-introduction circuit, a hydraulic pump, air flow compressors, an RPM sensor, a max speed limiter hydraulic draft by-pass valve, and a battery. The electrical re-introduction circuit throttles the generator into high-velocity rotation and yields excess electrical current to then be applied to the lift jets. The hydraulic pump pulls pressurized hydraulic fluid across a preceding hydraulic drive impellor such that the pressurized hydraulic fluid returns to confinement under pneumatic pressure faster than a discharge of hydraulic fluid. The air flow compressors generate electricity that is re-introduced into the lift electric motors. The RPM sensor and max speed limiter hydraulic draft by-pass valve speed regulate the generator. The battery initially powers the generator.
