A propulsion system includes a motor having a pair of parallel longitudinal tubes. Each longitudinal tube includes a first end and a second end, and delimits an internal volume filled with a fluid. Each longitudinal tube includes a projectile, configured to move longitudinally in the internal volume, fixedly secured to a propeller. Each longitudinal tube includes a mechanism to launch the projectile in the internal volume, from the first end. The propeller being arranged so as to transform a translational movement of the projectile into a rotational movement. Each longitudinal tube includes a device to slow the rotation of the projectile in the internal volume, arranged at the second end, a device to return the projectile toward the first end, and a heat dissipation device. The propellers of the longitudinal tubes are contrarotating.
