GFS Projects Limited is a British company developing a vertical take-off and landing aircraft shaped like a flying saucer. The company was established in 2002 by Geoff Hatton, and won a contract with the US government in 2007 to design an unmanned aerial vehicle.

The GFS Projects design uses the Coandă effect, like the failed 1950s Avrocar project. However, the GFS Projects design is mechanically simpler and scale prototypes capable of controlled flight have existed since 2005.

GFS is an abbreviation of Geoff's Flying Saucer.
