A number of different vehicle configurations are disclosed. An illustrative vehicle is disclosed to include a solid surfaced body having a front end, a propulsion unit that applies a propulsion force to the body and causes the front end to travel toward a traveling medium in a direction of travel, and at least one output port that is positioned on the body in such a way that fluid expelled from the at least one output port is expelled in a direction opposite to the propulsion force, wherein the fluid expelled from the at least one output port is expelled at a rate that is at least one order of magnitude less than a rate at which fluid is displaced by the propulsion unit.
