ABSTRACT:
An aerial device in the form of a disc which can be "sailed" in the air by throwing it in a manner to impart rotation to the disc. Vanes, holes and/or conduits are provided in the disc to force air from the top side or perimeter or other location to the underside thereof. By such means, increased lift is imparted to the device. Also, air cavities are provided to collect and maintain the air on the underside to provide an air cushion, further enhancing the lift imparted to the device.
