at least one tail conduit fluidly coupled to the gas generator to receive gas from the gas stream; first and second fore ejectors fluidly coupled to the at least one fore conduit to receive the gas from the at least one fore conduit, coupled to the fore portion and respectively coupled to the starboard side and port side, the fore ejectors respectively comprising an outlet structure out of which the gas from the at least one fore conduit flows at a predetermined adjustable velocity; at least one tail ejector fluidly coupled to the at least one tail conduit to receive the gas from the at least one tail conduit and coupled to the tail portion, the at least one tail ejector comprising an outlet structure out of which the gas from the at least one tail conduit flows at a predetermined adjustable velocity; first and second primary airfoil elements having leading edges, the primary airfoil elements respectively coupled to the starboard side and port side, the leading edges of the first and second primary airfoil elements being respectively located directly downstream of the outlet structure of the first and second fore ejectors such that the gas from the fore ejectors flows over the leading edges of the primary airfoil elements; and at least one secondary airfoil element having a leading edge and coupled to the main body, the leading edge of the at least one secondary airfoil element located directly downstream of the outlet structure of the at least one tail ejector such that the gas from the at least one tail ejector flows over the leading edge of the at least one secondary airfoil; characterised by first and second canard wings coupled to the fore portion and respectively coupled to the starboard side and port side, the canard wings configured to develop boundary layers of ambient air flowing over the canard wings when the vehicle is in motion, the canard wings being respectively located directly upstream of the first and second fore ejectors such that the first and second fore ejectors are fluidly coupled to the boundary layers, wherein the first and second fore ejectors respectively comprise first and second inlet portions for intake of upstream air, and the first and second fore ejectors are positioned such that the boundary layers developed by the canard wings are ingested by the inlet portions. a main body having a fore portion, a tail portion, a starboard side and a port side;
