Abstract In this paper we present numerical results of conceptual design study of an UAV which uses Coanda Effect for lift production. Results indicate the ability of manuveuring by creating asymmetric flow patterns which lead to uneven lift production and resulting force with horizontal component necessary for establishing forward flight conditions.
