DIY UFO – The GFS UAV Project, A coanda effect flying saucer

N02F1
Check out Jean-Louis Naudin’s DIY UFO – a coanda effect flying saucer you can make yourself!

The GFS-UAV, propelled by an electric engine, uses the Coanda effect to take off vertically, fly, hover and land vertically ( VTOL ). There is no big rotor like on an helicopter and the flight is very stable and safe for the surrounding. The design of the GFS-UAV N-01A is based on the Geoff Hatton’ flying saucer from GFS Project limited.
