The Coanda Effect has so many applications that
it is difficult to decide which are the most important ones: the changing of the thrust direction for modern aircraft (thrust reversal)
and the lowering of the noise level for reactive engines (or for experimental stands) for high speed aircraft, the lift of lifting
surfaces can be increased by the same procedure, etc.
The most common applications of the Coanda Effect are in everyday items like shower heads and lawn hose nozzles.
