It is shown that the efficiency of such propulsion units increases with the increase in their dimensions, so that in case of surface vessels propulsion units provide the buoyancy of the vehicle, the ability to locate a useful volume in the above-water part, and in case of air and submarine vessels - inside the propulsion unit. Since the vortex pair moves in the environment, without experiencing frontal resistance, vessels, manufactured according to the proposed schemes, also do not have frontal resistance. This factor gives the design a considerable advantage in the cost of power to move through water and air. Keywords: aircraft, sea vessels, vortex pair, drag, dissipation of vortex energy, structural features.
