PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a flying body 1 capable of causing a wingless airframe 8 having a small aspect ratio to efficiently float by utilizing a lift force and a ground effect even at a relatively low speed and stably flying at a low level in air, and a high-speed transportation system using the same.SOLUTION: A flying body 1 flies by a lift force and a ground effect to travel on a track 2 having a road surface 3 and a side wall 4, and includes a propulsion device 16 installed in a shell 5 having a projected upper surface 5a formed above in a traveling direction, and a pressure reduction member 11 extending from the side part of an airframe 8 to the track 2 side so as to limit an air flow flowing from the lower part of the airframe 8 including a vertical tail fin 6 and a horizontal tail fin 7 in its rear part. The rising air flow from the airframe 8 side is limited to maintain a pressure difference between the upper part and the lower part of the airframe 8, and the airframe 8 flies by utilizing the lift force and the ground effect even at a relatively low speed.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 |
