A propulsion device includes a platform with a pair of elbowed tubular thrust nozzles respectively located on opposite sides of the platform. An input end of each nozzle is mounted to the platform and rotatable about a transverse axis that is normal to a longitudinal axis of the platform, and is connected to a source of pressurized fluid. A pair of actuators are respectively connected to the tubular nozzles to rotate the nozzles around the transverse axis and thereby change the orientation of output ends of the nozzles relative to the platform. A processor controls the position of the platform by activating the actuators to rotate the nozzles, and thereby change the direction of thrust emitted by the pressurized fluid at the output ends of the nozzles.
