Flying

I have not tried to post a video before, but this is very interesting. There is a working model of this out there, with a three minute video inside a large hanger type building. It has to do with the "Coanda Effect", something that was discovered back in the 1930's. This is made using a model plane engine and its radio control, I think. The idea is to send air down over the bell shape for lift, and flaps to control direction. Pretty neat....

** warning - this is about a 3.5 MB video for those of you with a slow computer connection. **
