Abstract

A flying toy including a cylindrical rim and a flat circular airfoil located within the rim. The centerline of the airfoil is positioned to bisect the side surface of the rim, resulting in a flying toy of increased stability and throwing ease.

Claims

1. A flying toy comprising:

a circular center airfoil having a fixed diameter, an outer edge, a top surface, and a bottom surface, the top surface being planar and flat, the bottom surface being planar and flat and spaced from the top surface by a fixed distance parallel to the top surface;

a cylindrical rim having a diameter equal to the diameter of the circular center airfoil fastened to the circular center airfoil at the outer edge of the circular center airfoil, the cylindrical rim having a vertical height that extends beyond the top surface and bottom surface of the circular center airfoil by equal amounts and having a thickness that is no greater than the fixed distance between the top and bottom surface of the circular center airfoil; and

weighting means at the intersection of the circular center airfoil and the cylindrical rim for increasing the weight of the toy at the intersection of the airfoil and the rim.
