  Henri Coanda
Henri Coanda was one of the pioneers of the Romanian aviation, and could be considered as being the parent of the modern jet aircraft.
Henri Coanda was born in Bucharest on June 7, 1886 being the second son of Constantin M. Coanda.
Coanda considered that this could be the most important application of his effect for the aviation of the future.

  Coanda effect - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Coanda effect is the tendency of a stream of fluid to stay attached to a convex surface, rather than follow a straight line in its original direction.
The principle was named after Romanian inventor Henri Coandă, who was the first to understand the practical importance of the phenomenon for aircraft development.
This demonstration is the combination of the Venturi effect and the Coanda effect.

Very simply, the COANDA (or 'wall attachment') EFFECT is the tendency for a moving fluid (either liquid or gas) to attach itself to a surface and flow along it.
The COANDA EFFECT was discovered in the early 1900's by a Romanian aircraft engineer by the name of Henri Coanda.
Henri Coanda was the inventor of several different types of aircraft.

 CFD Review | Navy Successfully Simulates Effect that May Improve Low-Speed Maneuverability
In 1910, a young Romanian born engineer named Henri Coanda tested a plane that he had designed and built powered by a gasoline engine-driven centrifugal compressor, a compression chamber, and nozzle – which many call the first jet engine.
Coanda jets are created by blowing a moderate to high pressure gas or liquid through a narrow slot over a surface.
Coanda jets are being investigated for both aerospace and naval applications because they can significantly increase the amount of lift generated by an airfoil.

Henri Coanda began his engineering practice in aerodynamics where he is only now becoming become world renowned.
In 1911 at Reims, Coanda presented a two-engine airplane with only one propeller; between 1911-1914 he designed several 'classical' airplanes known as Bristol-Coanda airplanes.He designed three types of airplanes, among them Coanda-1916, with two propellers mounted close to the tail (like the well known 'Caravelle' transport airplane.
Among the most notable inventions were: the invention of a new construction material known as 'beton-bois', used for architectural decorations; in 1925 Coanda designed a device for detecting the liquids in the soil.

 Coanda
Henri Coanda should be known in history as the Farther of the Jet Engine his design (which he made himself) was thirty years before Whittle, yet all the world believes Frank Whittle invented this form of propulsion.
In front of the compressor a device much like the iris of a camera (called by Henri Coanda a obturator) controlled the amount of air entering the compressor.
After the Exhibition closed on the 10th of December 1910, Henri Coanda moved his aeroplane to Issy-Les-Moulineaux, were he intended to test the engine, the results of which are best told by Henri Coanda himself.

 Using The Coanda Effect In A Pulsejet
Coanda noted that a stream of fluid or gas will tend to hug a convex contour when directed at a tangent to that surface.
Indeed, some of the gasflows within my X-Jet engine rely on the Coanda effect so I thought I'd have a think about how the same effect could be applied to more traditional pulsejet engines.
What we have here is a possible valveless pulsejet design using the Coanda effect to significantly reduce the tendency for combustion gases to travel up the intake tube.

Henri Coanda was one of the pioneers of Romanian aviation, and the godfather of the modern jet aircraft, paving the way for the fast military jets and passenger airliners of the second half of the 20th century.
The most known, studied and applied discovery of Henri Coanda is the 'Coanda Effect' as demonstrated by his groundbreaking 1910 aircraft.
In its simplest form, the Coanda Effect recognises how steam emerging from a nozzle tends to follow a nearby curved surface, as long as the curvature of the surface or angle the surface makes is not too sharp.

This construction, applied for the first time by Henri Coanda, was later called 'Sesquiplan'; it was re-invented 10 years later, being used for Fokker's, Brequet's, Potez's airplanes.
The most interesting part of Coanda's plane was the propulsion system, a real revolution in the construction of airplanes engines, that would have to constitute the solution in the future.
But lacking the financial support Coanda could not improve his invention such that a second reactive airplane made by Coanda could not be seen flying again.

Huntington Beach, CA (April 4, 2002) Named for its discoverer, European engineer Henri Coanda, the "Coanda Effect" is an aerodynamic principle that occurs when multiple fans are positioned to generate a backflow of air.
Coanda was born in Bucharest on June 7, 1886, and is considered one of the pioneers of Romanian aviation and the parent of the modern jet aircraft.
On October 8, 1934, Henri Coanda was granted a patent for this effect called "procedure and device for the derivation of a fluid inside another fluid".

 The Coanda Flying Saucer, "The Repulsin" type A
He has observed that a steam of air (or an other fluid) emerging from a nozzle tends to follow a nearby curved surface, if the curvature of the surface (or angle the surface makes with the stream) is not too sharp.
When the main electric engine is started, the Coanda effect begins to create a differential aerodynamic pressure between the outer and the inner surface of the primary hull.
The "special outlet adaptator" used for generating the coanda effect is a simple plastic tube (inner diam : 9mm, lenght: 90mm) with a simple plastic disc (50mm diam, with a 9mm hole in the middle) glued to this tube.

The first recorded patent for a gas turbine was obtained in 1791 by the British inventor John Barber.
In 1910, seven years after the first flights by the American inventors Orville and Wilbur Wright, the Romanian scientist Henri Marie Coanda designed and built a jet-propelled biplane, which took off and flew under its own power with Coanda as pilot.
Coanda used an engine that he termed a reaction motor, but, discouraged by the lack of public acceptance of his aircraft, he abandoned his experiments.

Henri Coanda, like Alfred Loedding at Wright Field, was not content with just experimenting around with jet aircraft propulsion or typical aircraft design.
Coanda was politely received at Wright-Patterson and the engineers listened to his theories, marveled at the demonstrations of his flying disc and asked a multitude of questions.
Unfortunately, Coanda's theories and ideas were too revolutionary for mainstream engineering and the engineers at Wright-Patterson quietly went back to work on their jet engines and winged aircraft development before old Henri arrived back home.

 2 The Coanda Effect
Reflecting on the incident, however, Coanda was less interested in the takeoff than in the strange phenomenon of the wrong-way bending of the jets by his deflector plates.
Coanda's later experiments showed that a sheet of fluid discharged through a slit onto an extended and rounded lip will attach itself to the curved surface and follow its contour.
Fig.1: The Coanda Effect is the tendency of a fluid to cling to a surface that is near an orifice from which the fluid emerges.
