ABSTRACT:
A thin, planar flying toy has a plurality of radially extending, equiangularly spaced, relatively constant width arms extending from a central hub. Each arm has a given length that is substantially greater than the width of each of the arms. The central hub and the arms lie substantially within a common plane with the edges of the arms extending substantially perpendicularly between the first and second surfaces. The process for producing the flying toy includes cutting a planar sheet of plastic material to define the planar body that includes the central hub from which relatively constant width, equiangularly spaced arms radially extend. The material can be translucent with translucent or opaque indicia thereon to produce optically perceived patterns in flight.
