Knowra Frisbee Frisbee A Frisbee is a plastic disc designed to fly when thrown, commonly used for casual play and organized sports. Its curved rim and spinning flight help it travel through the air.
Aerodynamics : The study of how air moves and exerts forces on objects. Airflow around the disc creates lift and drag during flight.
Ultimate frisbee : A non-contact team sport in which players advance a disc by passing it into an end zone. Ultimate is the best-known field sport played with a flying disc.
Walter Frederick Morrison : An American inventor who developed the plastic flying disc that became the Frisbee. Morrison created the early design that led to the commercial disc.
Disc golf disc : A specialized flying disc designed for disc golf, with shapes tuned for distance, control, or putting. Unlike a general-purpose Frisbee, it is optimized for particular throws and targets.

Aerobie : A flying ring designed to travel long distances with a thin, open center. Its ring shape contrasts with the solid center of a conventional Frisbee.
Lift : The force that acts perpendicular to a moving object's direction through a fluid. The disc’s shape and angle of attack generate upward force.
Freestyle frisbee : A performance sport combining disc throws, catches, spins, and coordinated routines. Freestyle emphasizes dexterity and expressive control rather than distance or scoring goals.
