Abstract:
1. A flying toy apparatus, said flying toy apparatus when flying along a generally horizontal flight path comprising: A) a rotating disc portion having including a substantially circular central body portion having a top surface, a bottom surface, and a substantially circular outer periphery, and also including a substantially annular outside rim depending downwardly from said outer periphery and terminating at a substantially circular lower free edge, said disc portion having a substantially vertical central rotational axis, said disc defining a lower cavity defined as underneath said disc portion and above a substantially horizontal plane including said substantially circular lower free edge and being substantially perpendicular to said central rotational axis, said disc portion configured to rotate about said central rotational axis while flying along said generally horizontal flight path such that said rotational axis moves generally along said flight path while remaining generally perpendicular to said flight path; B) a gliding body portion comprising at least one aileron, said aileron including a downwardly directed aileron fin portion; and C) a rotating connection portion, said rotating connection portion rotatably connecting said disc portion relative to said body portion substantially about said vertical rotational axis, such that at least a portion of said downwardly directed aileron fin portion is within said cavity and defines a generally forwardly-facing surface which is inclined relative to horizontal, and remains forwardly-facing notwithstanding said rotation of said disc portion, said rotating connection portion also including:
