Laminar flow on an aircraft is helpful but at our level of mastery, it is not going to allow for revolutionary increases in efficiency.

So the thrust is augmented by 15x

"15-X air multiplication" does not = thrust multiplication. It's meaningless without an efficiency factor. I don't see how this tech is any more efficient than current tech. How much of a penalty comes from ducting all that high pressure air into the nozzles. My guess is it's pretty high loss.
Semi-educated judgment: Vapourware.
I want to believe but I don't want to be duped either.

I've always been a fan of Coanda (and Bernoulli)

Pun intended? Shouldn't it be: "I find the work of Coanda and Bernoulli highly entraining."
