Spinning Flight Dynamics of Frisbees, Boomerangs, Samaras, and Skipping Stones /
More frisbees are sold each year than baseballs, basketballs, and footballs combined. Yet these familiar flying objects have subtle and clever aerodynamic and gyrodynamic properties which are only recently being documented by wind tunnel and other studies. In common with other rotating bodies discus...
