ABSTRACT:
A circular rotating aerodynamic toy for launching by hand with a spinning motion and which may be caught in flight by hand, has an outer peripheral rim or skirt with a free lower portion and an upper portion that connects to the circular body of the toy, the skirt being segmented and attached to the body at a multitude of discrete points around the outer periphery of the body so that between the discrete points of connection the body is free to bend and flex about diametric lines passing through any position on the periphery of the toy, whereby the toy is substantially more flexible than it would be if the attachment of the skirt to the periphery of the body were continuous around the periphery, and so impact forces of the toy upon colliding in flight with another body are minimized.
