Preliminary Ideas on Designing an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Based on Coanda Effect

Article Preview

Abstract:

The final goal of this research is to develop a safe and inexpensive flying vehicle. In this paper, only some preliminary ideas on the design of an unmanned aerial vehicle, based on Coandă effect, will be presented. These ideas are concerning the optimization of the aerodyne body profile.
