Claim 0:
1. An airframe of a flying toy device comprising:
a body having a normal axis, the body comprising:
an interior surface defining a central air passage communicating through the body along the normal axis of the body, the interior surface being formed such that a flow of air is permitted through the body via the central air passage;
an air inlet at a first end of the body and an air outlet at a second end of the body, the second end being opposite the first end, wherein the air inlet tapers from a wide end to a narrow end, the wide end being at the first end of the body, the narrow end being opposite the wide end;
a portion of the interior surface which starts at the narrow end of the air inlet and terminates at an opening of the outlet, the portion of the interior surface defining a constricted section of the central air passage;
an exterior curved surface and an exterior flat surface, wherein the exterior flat surface is disposed at the first end of the body, wherein the exterior curved surface forms a substantially hemispherical shape of the body; and
a set of side airflow passages evenly spaced around the body, wherein individual side airflow passages are disposed substantially orthogonal to the normal axis, the individual side airflow passages having individual side inlets at the exterior curved surface of the body which follow a contour of the exterior curved surface, the individual side airflow passages having individual side outlets at the portion of the interior surface such that the individual side outlets open into the constricted section of the central air passage, such that the individual side airflow passages permit individual flows of air from an ambient environment into the constricted section of the central air passage.
