The flying disc, often referred to by its most well-known commercial name, Frisbee, which is owned by the Wham-O toy company, and the boomerang are examples of flying gyroscopic airfoils. Their differing flight paths are due to differences in center of gravity and throwing method. BoomerGlide is a flying disc, but it’s not. It’s a boomerang, but it’s not. It’s more. BoomerGlide is an outdoor game
for one or more players that involves running, throwing, catching, and having fun! When thrown backhand, like a flying disc, the BoomerGlide flies true. The earwings add stability to the flight and the increased rotational velocity achieved by throwing from the earwings improves accuracy and distance. Thrown overhand, like a baseball or football, BoomerGlide will boomerang back to the thrower. BoomerGlide can even be thrown underhand, like a fast-pitch softball, presenting a variety of flight possibilities, depending on wrist movement and release point.
