ABSTRACT:
Improvement to aircraft and high speed vehicles, consisting of setting the vehicle nose in an upward inclination with a flat wall on the bottom which, running from the underside of the fuselage, is inclined forward until its upper zone. The inclined wall exploits the frontal incident air to create lift and, because of the angle which it forms, frontal drag is the same as that of a conventional vehicle fuselage, having the tail inclined downward with a flat wall in the upper part running from the top of the fuselage and sloping backwards as far as its bottom area, to exploit the suction of the rear air to create major lift and, because of its angle, the tail drag is the same as that of a conventional vehicle.
