ABSTRACT:
A rotationally symmetrical supporting member provides lift in response to movement of air over its upper surface, and such air movement is produced by the impeller of a coaxially arranged drive unit, the base of which is connected to the supporting member so that counter torque from the drive unit imparts rotational movement to the supporting member. A carrier which may hold a load or supporting steering flaps is rotatably mounted in relation to the supporting member and to the driving unit.
