Abstract

A propulsion system includes at least one conduit, the conduit configured to carry distribute motive fluid, the conduit further configured to collapse when not supplied with motive fluid from a compressor and inflate when supplied with motive fluid from a compressor, and at least one ejector in fluid communication with the at least one conduit, wherein the compressor supplies compressed air to the at least one ejector for producing thrust, and wherein the at least one ejector, when not in use, is retractable into a volume of an airfoil streamlining the outside of said airfoil.
