Abstract
The flyer of the present invention comprises an upper main disk and a lower ring made from lightweight sheet material. The upper main disk and lower ring connect via an attachment element. Design, construction and assembly of the flyer of the present invention produce a stable flyer; when thrown flat, the flyer flies flat. Design, construction and assembly reduce or eliminate veering, an inherent characteristic of other common flyers. Distinguishing flight features of the flyer of the present invention arise where the design and construction of the flyer include a main disk and a lower ring separated by the attachment element, usually cut from the upper main disk and lower ring. Action between air and the upper main disk, lower ring and attachment means produce desirable flight features.

- a generally circular and generally planar disk having a plurality of spaced apart apertures each aperture having a first diameter, wherein said apertures enable air to form a vortex when the flyer is thrown;
- a generally circular and generally planar ring having an opening;
- and a plurality of tabs, each having a top connected to the disk, a bottom connected to the ring an arcuate outer periphery and a second diameter that is generally equal to the first diameter.
