Did Coanda invent the Kevlar, too?

It is easy to also imagine how the very shape of the body could enhance the lift effect of the ion wind through employment of the Coanda effect. In fact, Henri Coanda himself designed in 1935 a flying machine which very much resembles what is known today as a "flying saucer." Coanda considered that this could be the most important application of his effect for the aviation of the future.

The ionocraft is not an "antigravity" device either, except in the sense that a helicopter is an antigravity device. But with the lightweight, high-tensile-strength carbon fibers, Kevlar, super epoxies, and micro-miniaturized gizmos available now one could whip up a pretty impressive RPV.
