ABSTRACT:
The flyer of the present invention comprises an upper main disk and a lower ring made from lightweight sheet material. The upper main disk and lower ring connect via an attachment element. Design, construction and assembly of the flyer of the present invention produce a stable flyer; when thrown flat, the flyer flies flat. Design, construction and assembly reduce or eliminate veering, an inherent characteristic of other common flyers. Distinguishing flight features of the flyer of the present invention arise where the design and construction of the flyer include a main disk and a lower ring separated by the attachment element, usually cut from the upper main disk and lower ring. Action between air and the upper main disk, lower ring and attachment means produce desirable flight features.
