Rolf Sonnemann and Klaus Krug from the University of Technology of Dresden, mentioned in passing in their 1987 book Technik und Technikwissenschaften in der Geschichte (Technology and Technical Sciences in History) that the Coandă-1910 was the world's first jet. Between 1911 and 1914, he worked as technical manager of the Bristol Aeroplane Company in UK, where he designed several aeroplanes known as Bristol-Coanda Monoplanes.

I am romanian and assure you Henri Coanda been romanian and did invent the air flow propultion system as we today know it as jet engine . In fact Henri did invent other things wich mostly are keept secret or has been sold to powerful nations back in time. We also did invent and we still invent great things world wide with foreign big companies who invest in our projects. See the latest invention slim 6 mm flat screen tv 2010.Unfotunately in our country they don't invest in hi-tech projects.

@worIdcitizen Kinda'... So similar, yet so different. See, the air doesn't go straight down as it does for a helicopter. It is pushed into the body of the flying thingy over here and then follows its shape, using the Coanda effect. Those little sideways flippers steer the direction of the air flow. So, the direction isn't decide by the blades, but by those funky little flippers.
