Spinning Flight

More Frisbees are sold each year than baseballs, basketballs and footballs combined. Yet Frisbees have subtle and clever aerodynamic and gyrodynamic properties which are only recently being documented by wind tunnel and other studies. This book develops the theme of disc-wings and spinning aerospace vehicles in parallel. Since many of the examples are recreational, anyone who enjoys these activities will likely find it profitable and enjoyable. The book includes not only the latest published results but also describes the author's own experiments with instructions on how readers can conduct trials of their own.
