First Claim
1. A flying toy for throwing and/or catching, the flying toy comprising:
- an elongated body forming a fuselage, the body extending along a longitudinal axis from a front end to a rear end;
a lift-generating wing non-movably attached in relation to the body;
a horizontal stabilizer disposed at or near the rear end of the body, the horizontal stabilizer disposed behind the lift-generating wing;
a vertical stabilizer disposed at or near the rear end of the body, the vertical stabilizer disposed behind the lift-generating wing; and
a push surface attached to the body and extending perpendicular in relation to the longitudinal axis, the push surface facing towards the rear end of the body, the push surface allowing a user to push the flying toy forward when thrown.

Abstract
A flying toy for throwing and/or catching includes an elongated body forming a fuselage. The body extends along a longitudinal axis from a front end to a rear end. A lift-generating wing is non-movably attached in relation to the body. A horizontal stabilizer is disposed at or near the rear end of the body, where the horizontal stabilizer disposed behind the lift-generating wing. A vertical stabilizer is disposed at or near the rear end of the body, where the vertical stabilizer is disposed behind the lift-generating wing. A push surface is attached to the body and extends perpendicular in relation to the longitudinal axis. The push surface faces towards the rear end of the body. The push surface allows a user to push the flying toy forward when thrown.
