A vehicle 1 has upper 2 and lower 3 adjustable air intake nozzles, a viewing port 4 and an air intake 5. Intake air passes through, a plurality of: compressors 10, burners 11, turbo chargers 12, compression pipes 13, compression pipe shafts 14, hot gas pipes 15 and hot gas shafts 16.. Exhaust gases exit through a nozzle 6 adjacent to vectored thrust vanes 7. The inlet and exhaust nozzles may be equipped with overlapping fixed nozzle sidewalls 8 and movable nozzle sidewalls 9 allowing the size and shape of the nozzles to be altered. The rotational energy of shafts 14 and 16 may be used to drive a plurality of wheels [Fig 2, 23], In further e embodiments the motive power sources may be a plurality of electric motors [Fig 6, 51] or an internal combustion engine [Fig 3, 30]. In all embodiments the vehicle lowers the air pressure at the front of the vehicle and minimises frontal drag by optimising air inlet to the power source. Exhaust gases are exited along the centreline of the rear of the vehicle to compensate for the vacuum caused by aerodynamic drag. |
