ABSTRACT:
A wind driven flying toy comprising a single guideline and an aerodynamic body slidably secured to the guideline, the aerodynamic body being capable of traversing the entire length single guideline in both directions by reacting with the action of wind power member even when the wind power is in a constant wind direction. The direction of the travel of the aerodynamic body can be modified by adjusting the orientation of the aerodynamic body and is not dependent upon a change in the direction of the wind. In addition, the direction of travel of the aerodynamic body along the single guideline can be reversed by rotation of a handle connected to the end of the guideline when the aerodynamic body is in contact with the handle. The aerodynamic body can take a variety of forms, including that of a unitary structure provided with apertures for slidably securing it to the guideline, a sail structure sail element having eyelets or guidetubes for slidably securing to the guideline, or the aerodynamic body can include a sail structure having a sail element secured to a frame element. The flying toy can also be automated by connecting rotating devices to the ends of the guideline.
