1967: 64-68.
Among inventions of Henri Coanda was ?. lenticular aerodyne (flying saucer)
designed in 1935. Coanda effect (tendency of a moving jet of air or water
to adhere to an adjacent surface) would be used to create vertical lift without
forward motion and to control aircraft. Although aerodyne was never built,
tests on critical portions of it were made in France and results indicate it is
practical.
