Henri Coandă, a visionary Romanian inventor, brought his experimental masterpiece, the Coandă-1910, to life in 1910. Powered by an innovative ducted fan system, this daring craft boasted a cutting-edge design that left a lasting impression on aviation history. The unique aircraft engine, dubbed "turbo-propulseur" by its ingenious creator, consisted of a centrifugal blower with multiple blades, expertly driven by a robust piston engine. This forward-thinking technology exhaustively fed into a carefully crafted duct, creating a symphony of airflow and aerodynamics that pushed the boundaries of innovation. In October 1910, Coandă's remarkable aircraft caught the eye of enthusiasts at the Second International Aeronautical Exhibition in Paris, leaving a lasting impact on the global aviation community. Its propeller-free design was an unmistakable statement, yet it faded from public consciousness shortly after its introduction. Undeterred by this temporary setback, Henri Coandă adapted his pioneering ideas to another area - using his revolutionary turbo-propulseur system to power a snow sled, setting a new standard for snow mobility, though ultimately failing to evolve into the aviation technology it initially aspired to become.
