1. • • A disc is like a gyroscope in that it uses gyroscopic inertia, the tendency of a gyroscope to keep spinning in the same plane without twisting and turning. With no spin, a disc is inherently unstable, and with no speed, no lift is generated, so a combination of these factors is needed for a disc to fly.

   Who invented the flying disc?

   • The flying disc was popularized by the toy company Wham-O with its introduction of the trademarked "Frisbee" in 1957. This remarkable feat of aerodynamics and gyroscopic stability was discovered rather than predicted. The physics of its flight is subtle and remarkable.

   What is the physics of a flying disc?

   • The physics of its flight is subtle and remarkable. To first approximation, a flying disc is simply an axi-symmetric wing with an elliptical cross-section. Of course, most ordinary wings would be unstable if simply thrown through the air, but the essential mechanics of its lift are mostly ordinary.

   Why do flying discs have gyroscopic stability and aerodynamic lift?

   • Thus the faster a disc rotates, the more stable its flight. The second is aerodynamic lift. We saw a couple arguments as to why lift is produced for air flow around curved surfaces. The combination of gyroscopic stability and aerodynamic lift gives us the simple picture of flying discs.

   What makes a flying disc stable?

   • The key to the stability of the flying disc is its spin. The spin of the disc results in gyroscopic stability or pitch stiffness, and the greater the speed, the greater the stability.

   What is the physics of a Frisbee in flight?

   • Frisbees are a common source of entertainment and sport, although the physics behind these flying discs is often taken for granted. Frisbees operate under two main physical concepts, aerodynamic lift… Abstract. This project will describe the physics of a common Frisbee in flight.

   How much does a flying disc weigh?

   • The typical mass of a flying disc is between 90g and 175g. The lighter discs maximize duration of flight, and the heavier discs will maximize distance thrown and minimize the effects of wind and stray currents. It is also apparent from the equations of motion that a greater moment of inertia I would also increase stability.

   Why does a flying disc fly really well, say compared to a disc that doesn't rotate when it flies? Well, the real answer is that physics in the name of lift, angular momentum, and gyroscopic precession become involved.
