A vehicle for transporting people as well as goods that moves with minimal aerodynamic drag loss because the energy in the aerodynamic drag is transferred to the propulsive thermal engine. The high dynamic air pressure in front of the vehicle (1) as a result of the vehicle (1) moving faster than the surrounding air is sucked by the air compressor (10) through the air intake (5) and variable sized air intake nozzles (2)(3). The low dynamic air pressure at the back of the vehicle (1) as a result of the vehicle (1) leaving behind the surrounding air, is filled back by the exhaust gas coming out through the exhaust nozzles (6). All the nozzles (2)(3)(6) are optionally adjustable in order to optimise the sucking and filling capacities of the thermal engine. The present invention also applies to flying vehicles, road vehicles as well as but not limited to underwater vehicles.
