An aircraft application of a Coanda-esque device would be the 'blown' slots on the Japanese, Shin Meiwa PS-1 and US-1, STOL aircraft, by Kawanishi. It required only 3,060- horsepower to provide the necessary airflow volume to the wings. Stupid aeronautical engineers! All they needed was to know the illustrious Dr. Wolf and his magic technology.
Let us know how that works out on your car.
