This invention, an Aerial Lifting and Propulsion Device, introduces an aircraft and aircraft wing design that has an outer and inner circumference, both of which are employed in the entirety of each to evacuate air, air space, and/or atmosphere from above the circular wing/craft, to the area beneath the circular wing/craft, through the use of a propeller inside the inner circumference of the circular wing, and impellers at the outer circumference of the circular wing. When the air, air space, and/or atmosphere forced from above the circular wing into the area beneath the circular wing and propeller attempts to escape to the top of the circular wing to fill the newly created low pressure area above the circular wing, it is intercepted at the lower edge of the outer circumference of the circular wing and forced to returned to the area beneath the circular wing, where the atmospheric pressure is further increased or decreased at will, depending on the pitch and speed of the aircraft propeller and impeller blades. The noted reduced atmospheric pressure at the top of the circular wing, and the higher controlled atmospheric pressure in the area beneath the circular wing and propeller, forces the circular wing upward from its stationary position, achieving lift as described in Bernoulli's Principle. Stabilization and directional control is maintained through adjustments in the pitch of the impeller and propeller and the effects of torque are neutralized by the rotation of the impeller and propeller assemblies in opposite directions. The Aerial Lifting and Propulsion Device maintains its upright configuration while airborne in part because its center of gravity is well below the points where lift is generated.
