Aerodynamics for People…
Who Wonder, “How does this thing fly? ...
So delve in to this essay as I show you the marvelous world of the unique toy called the Frisbee! ... As you and your significant other are deeply immersed in conversation, a Frisbee comes out of the dimming skies and strikes you square in the noggin. ... “ I had no idea my Frisbee could fly so far! I wonder how it does that? ...
A Frisbee works on a few aerodynamic principles that I will try to simplify to the best of my ability. First and probably the most important factor in a Frisbee’s flight is its ability to produce lift, aerodynamic lift to be exact. ... That is about the only similarity between a Frisbee and your hand. So imagine as the noggin-knocker is traveling though the air, the air is being split with some going under and some over the Frisbee. The air flowing under the disk is able to fly in a fairly straight line without gaining or losing any speed.
