A circuit-based vehicle archway assembly having an arched casing with a cylinder ramp at one end and an opposing semi-oval end. It includes a plurality of rotational cylinders within the casing and has respective airfoil bridges between the rotational cylinders. The airfoil bridges and cylinder ramps may be structured to create a cambered hybrid magnus lift airfoil assembly generating directional force to a circuit-based vehicle.

A mobile object 1 according to the present disclosure includes a body 10 provided as a first polyhedron, and rotary-wing modules 20 attached to the body 10 at all vertices of the first polyhedron. The rotary-wing modules 20 each include a rotary wing 21 and a drive unit 22. The drive unit 22 is configured to drive the rotary wing 21. The rotary wings 21 are located outside the body 10 and each have a rotation axis that is a straight line connecting a reference point PO and a corresponding one of the vertices of the first polyhedron. The reference point PO is defined inside the body 10.
