Henri Coandă

Henri Coandă was a Romanian engineer and inventor best known for discovering the Coandă effect, which explains how a fluid like air flows along a curved surface, influencing aircraft design. He also built one of the earliest jet-powered aircraft in 1910, pioneering advances in aviation. Coandă's work contributed significantly to aerodynamics and jet propulsion technology, helping to shape modern aircraft. His innovative spirit and scientific insights continue to influence aerospace engineering today.
