Widgeon, I think you mean Coanda effect not Coriolis. Coanda is the effect utilised by Notar technology where an injection of air onto one side of a structure (wing, tailboom etc) delays separation of the airflow and increases lift. Coriolis was a French physicist (i'm almost certain) who explained the apparent deflection to the right of an object moving in the Northern Hemipshere.
