Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9924134A1] The flying apparatus (10) has improved launch and flight characteristics, is compatible either as a flying hoop-type structure or a disc-type structure, and can be readily disassembled for compact storage. The flying apparatus comprises an outer section (11) and a central floatation member (16). The outer section (11) includes an annular ring (24) made of a solid material encased within a cushion-type member (26). The solid material (24) enables firm grasping of the outer section (11) during launch. The cushion-type member (26) encases the annular ring (24) and lessens any force imposed by the annular ring (24) upon impact. By substituting one outer ring structure with a slightly different outer ring structure, the flying apparatus can be readily adapted for any variety of flight patterns.
