A tension lifting wing wheel assembly includes a peripheral rim located concentrically with a hub supported by a plurality of spokes, each spoke extending therebetween. A series of wings, each wing having an aerodynamically lifting shape extending between a leading edge and a trailing edge. Each wing of the series of wings is assembled to the tension wheel assembly by coupling an area of the wing proximate the leading edge to a leading edge spoke and an area of the wing proximate the trailing edge to a trailing edge spoke. The wings are arranged having a gap provided between the wing trailing edge of each forward located wing and the wing leading edge of each trailing located wing. The tension lifting wing wheel assembly can be employed as a propulsion and/or lifting device integrated into a vehicle, such as an airplane, a helicopter, a tandem rotor helicopter, etc.
