ABSTRACT
The Coand effect is the tendency of a fluid jet to be attracted to a nearby surface. When
a fluid flows past one side of a surface, the pressure is reduced (according to Bernoulli's
principle), and there is a resultant force on the surface, which is lift.
The Coanda UAV, propelled by an electric engine, uses the Coanda effect to take off
vertically, fly, hover and land vertically. There is no big rotor like on a helicopter and the
flight is very stable and safe for the surrounding
We intend to create a CAD model of the UNMANNED AIR VEHICLE using CATIA
V5R19 software, analyze it in the ANSYS FLUENT and use the results to optimize the
working model.
