Investigating novel applications of the coanda effect for small morphing unmanned aircraft
Investigating novel applications of the coanda effect for small morphing unmanned aircraft
The proposed research focuses on the Coanda Effect and the applications affiliated with the phenomenon. The experimental work is presented with a short discussion. The experiments were conducted on two different types of air amplifier. The first one is commonly used in manufacturing processes and the second within a consumer electronic product, the Dyson Fan. The measured data shows a significant amount of thrust produced at relatively low pressure. With those results in mind the futuristic view on the novel concept of UAV, which utilizes the air amplifiers as the propulsion unit is also presented.

Abstract
The proposed research focuses on the Coanda Effect and the applications affiliated with the phenomenon. The experimental work is presented with a short discussion. The experiments were conducted on two different types of air amplifier. The first one is commonly used in manufacturing processes and the second within a consumer electronic product, the Dyson Fan. The measured data shows a significant amount of thrust produced at relatively low pressure. With those results in mind the futuristic view on the novel concept of UAV, which utilizes the air amplifiers as the propulsion unit is also presented.
