Both have 1500cfm of hot air to drive the effect. 1962 was Notchback only. Fastback, Squareback and the two convertibles came later.

I'm genuinely trying to learn*, and I was contradicting aerohead long before you came along. With more success I think. He puts spaces after sentences now. A small victory, but what have you achieved? Hmm?

* Why Was The Fw-190A So Fast?

The FW-190 had a toroidal oil cooler around the air intake that exhausted through a very thin annular slit pace Coanda.

The video also states that the exhaust provides 10% of the total thrust. Another case when energy is added to the flow of air.

Contradicting the modern assertion that the Coanda effect is passive.

Bear in mind that this effect would not begin on an automobile until in excess of 250-mph.
