Henri Coanda – Father of the Jet
Later on, he worked as technical director for Bristol Aeroplane Company in England, where he designed several aircraft devices called Bristol-Coanda Monoplanes, and for the air division of Delaunay-Belleville in France, where he designed and supervised the construction of three different models of propeller aeroplane. He invented a new fireproof material, bois-beton, that immitated wood (the constructors of the Palace of Culture in Iasi widely used his invention) and, in 1926, he developed a device capable of detecting underground fluids. His invention was successfully applied in an offshore oil drilling in the Persian Gulf.
His most important contribution to the world of science was the Coanda Effect, for which the French authorities gave him a patent in 1934. The effect that now bears the name of the Romanian scientist was described as “deviation of a plan jet of a fluid that penetrates another fluid in the vicinity of a convex wall”. His discovery was the result of a 20 years constant work, which started from the very moment when his first jet, Coanda-10 crashed, when he observed that the flames and incandescent gas emitted by the fire tended to remain close to the fuselage.
