Abstract
In this work, we present a flying saucer, a kind of unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV), lifted based on Coandə effect. Coandə effect is an interesting fluid dynamic phenomenon that the interaction between the flow and curved surfaces produce attraction, which results in the lifting of the object. The flying saucer adopting Coandə effect is easy to hover while keeping its posture stable, and vertical take-off and landing(VTOL) is possible. Its design procedures via optimization and manufacturing procedures are explained in details, and the preliminary tests in the indoor and outdoor are successfully demonstrated.
