Objects: Flying Discs

Different Types of Flying Discs:


Ultimate
The most common frisbee is called "Ultimate Frisbee"its a 175g frisbee and is used in the sport "Ultimate" The weight and the shape of the frisbee makes it ideal for various different types of throws and grip techniques.







Disc Golf
Disc golf discs are usually smaller but denser and are tailored for particular flight profiles to increase/decrease stability and distance.







Aerobie
The Aerobie Superdisk is an alternative design of flying disc that, although somewhat differently shaped, still has very similar properties to the conventional disc. It has less air resistance. Because there is less resistance to motion, the Aerobie discs can fly farther than the conventional disc. The Aerobie flying ring has minimal drag and has held several world records for the longest flight by a human-thrown projectile. However, due to the lack of a rim, the Aerobie is less suited to angled, curved flights and air-bouncing.
