A means for the creation of propulsive force and an apparatus for implementing the means comprising a solenoid, such as a superconductive electromagnet, located at the narrow end of a tapered tube whose solid parts are made of a superconductor with high magnetic field trapping ability, such as the type II superconductor Y-Ba-Cu-O, and within which a propulsive force is developed. The magnetic field generated by the solenoid repulsively interacts with pinned magnetic fields established within the superconducting tapered tube to create a pressure on the tapered tube which produces a propulsive force directed toward the tapered tube's converging end.
