The Coanda effect is not hard to understand. It is a key part of an accurate explanation of how lift works.

Thanks.
Common aircraft wings do not use Coanda effect to produce lift. It is actually the viscosity that produces lift, see John Anderson’s “Fundamentals of Aerodynamics”.
To get the Coanda effect, the jet stream must come from some sources, such as the engine exhaust (upper wing blowing) or the bleed air from the engine (jet flap).
I have a copy of that book, and many others like it. I cannot make sense of what you are trying to say, but it is wrong.

That web page agrees with what I say. But it is written in such a confusing style, I can understand why you think it is saying something else. There are much better references available, like the Wikipedia article that it links to.
