Coanda Principle

Photo of GFS UAV in flight
The GFS UAV is pretty amazing. It can take off vertically, has controlled flight, hover and land on a specified point. The GFS UAV uses the Coanda principle for lift, has almost no downwash and is aerodynamically stable. This thing has NO exposed rotating parts.

Supposedly this craft will be used in urban environments for "close quarter surveillance" and "intelligence gathering". Hmmm....
