PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- Have you ever poured something from one cup into another only to have the liquid seemingly stick to the side, making a big mess? You have some pretty cool science to blame for ...

The Coanda effect is an aerodynamic principle regarding the way fluids tend to flow along curved surfaces. This can be used to direct a flow, and [Tom Stanton] wanted to try out its application on a ...

UK-based GFS Projects has unveiled initial concepts for man-carrying and unmanned cargo-carrying coanda-effect aircraft, the latter with disc spans reaching up to 30m (100ft). The initial man-carrying ...

The first autonomous flight of Geoff's Flying Saucer (GFS) Project's Fenstar 50 internal combustion engine-powered, coanda-effect unmanned air vehicle is expected by the end of 2008 following its ...

Leaving no stone unturned in his quest for alternative and improbable ways to generate lift, [Tom Stanton] has come up with some interesting aircraft over the years. But this time he isn’t exactly ...

A research team at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, has demonstrated a unique method that can reduce the aerodynamic resistance of ships by 7.5%. Central to the method is the steady flow ...
