A lot of this stuff also applies to sailing, a great website that I've been preaching for years that focuses on the Coanda Effect is http://sailtheory.com I highly recommend

Nice one, that I wasn't familiar with. Another great site for sailing theory is Arvel Gentry's page. His Origins of Lift piece was the first reference that made the process clear to me. http://www.arvelgentry.com/origins_of_lift.htm
