Abstract:
A self-propelled toy glider includes a flexible frame and a flight surface. The flexible frame may be deformed and held within the user's hand. When deformed, the flexible frame stores spring energy. This spring energy is subsequently used to propel the self-propelled toy glider forward as it returns to original shape.

Claim (Index 16):
A method of launching a self-propelled toy glider comprising the steps of:\n a. providing a glider, the glider having a flight surface peripherally attached to an elastically deformable frame element, the glider further comprising a first shape, wherein the first shape is a natural shape and a second shape, wherein the second shape is an elastically deformed shape having stored spring energy used to propel the glider forward during launch b. deforming the glider from the first shape to the second elastically deformed shape; c. holding the glider in the elastically deformed shape with a force applied to a forward portion of the glider and an opposing force applied to an aft portion of the glider; and d. releasing the force applied to the forward portion of the glider to release the stored spring energy, propelling the glider into flight during a transition from the second shape back to the first shape.
