A pulsejet is provided that includes an inlet, an exhaust nozzle, and a combustion chamber between the inlet and the exhaust nozzle. The pulsejet additionally includes a flow-turning device positioned over an end of the inlet. The flow turning device forms an air flow pathway (AFP) having a substantially 180.degree. turn. The 180.degree. turn aligns a direction of exhaust exiting the combustion chamber through the inlet along a positive axial thrust line and substantially parallel with exhaust exiting the combustion chamber through the nozzle.
