aerodynamic profile such that when it is flung through the air with a spinning motion it appears to sail or u201c float u201d through the air the spinning motion imparted by a wrist flick gyroscopically stabilizes the flight flying discs such as those shown in fig1 4 may be thrown by the user in a backhanded motion with one hand keeping the arm parallel with the ground and ending the throw with a snapping motion of the wrist variations of the angle of the arm at launch determine the angle of flight relative to altitude and direction the flying discs 11 33 are easier to throw and catch due to their shape levelness and the effect of u201c floating u201d toward the receiving individual rather than being u201c whipped u201d toward that individual children adapt to the flying toy more quickly and easily due to the steadiness of the flight and the ability to toss the flying disc along a more level path and at a shorter range this flying disc can also be thrown in areas that previously did not lend themselves to this activity because the discs can be comfortably thrown at a closer range than those of the prior art which is especially important in densely populated areas thus a large playing field is unnecessary and the flying disc of this.
