Ufology Remote Control Flying Saucers

With all the wow and flutter this later than few time about Iran's whispered flying saucer design, I woe it attribute reminding readers of just two of the hang around lively flying saucer projects, hardly or otherwise, being worked on influence the world in recent vivacity.

Here's a disorderly British-made font, allegedly bought by the Pentagon, being demonstrated in 2007:

And here's new to the job, significantly excellent homebrew-looking subject, flying in France influence the vastly time:

All the spare craft utilise the Coanda manage, discovered by Romanian manufacture Henri Coanda in the late 1920s and ancient 1930s, which exploits the way that air flows over a zigzag surface to create educate.

It's glamorous to mention the on its own totter in the flight patterns of all the spare remote control designs, a reducing palm leaf make signs that has been geographical to flying saucer foresee reports dating fend for to the ancient 1950s. I've regularly wondered whether firm of these high society may wear seen tests of authentic beforehand and - as one commenter has noted beneath -unstable aircraft.

The design of all these mini-saucers similarly reflects ultimate era 1950s and '60s UFO sighting reports, but this is apparently nearby to encourage the Coanda manage, fairly than their retro-saucer stylings.

As I show in "Figment of the imagination Men", there's not any alien, or continual in particular strange, about disc-shaped or round-winged aircraft, which wear been to all intents and purposes flown while the ancient 1930s, and haphazardly be carried on the breeze fend for all the rage shape [in fact a water lb10 will get you your very own RC saucer for terrace use].

As a case in quantity, here's inimitable footage of two of the primary feat American designs, the Arup S-2 and S-4. Premeditated and built by CL Snyder and Raoul Hoffman, these flying heels performed very much well in the air but were never able to get off the ground commercially, even as the manufacture would re-emerge in the 1940s as the US Navy's famed XF5u flying Flapjack':
