British Start-Up Tests Flying Saucers 65
Sabre Runner writes to mention that a new British start-up, Aesir, has acquired the assets of a defunct drone company and is working on evolving a working model from several prototypes of "flying saucer" drones. "Aesir's first prototype, named 'Embler' [...] demonstrates the so-called 'Coanda effect,' where air speeds up as it 'sticks' to a curved surface. Aesir's drones take advantage of the Coanda effect to direct air down, away from the drone, boosting lift. Aesir doesn't appear to have any paying customers yet — and is reportedly bankrolled by a single investor."

No. This saucer company is named after Æsir, the True Norse Gods and will make drones that will be used to hunt down and KILL! Taliban and other Islamists in Afghanistan, Iraq and Malmö.
According to Norse theology those killed will then suffer forever in Hellheim. Soon the survivors will burn down their mosques and begin sacrficing to Odin to stop the attacks. Then it will be time to deal with the Christians. Eventually Ásatrú will dominate the world.
