A propulsion system for an aerial vehicle or toy aerial vehicle includes a bladeless fan drive and a peripheral ground-engagement part. The bladeless fan drive operates in a plane (x′-y′) and is configured for producing thrust. The peripheral ground-engagement part comprises a hubless wheel and a rotatable tire component. The bladeless fan drive is secured within the hubless wheel by two pivot points on opposing sides of the bladeless fan drive, such that the plane of the bladeless fan drive is pivotable about a pivot axis (x′) spanning between the two pivot points, the pivot axis (x′) being orthogonal to a hubless wheel axis (z) of the peripheral ground-engagement part.
