A flying disc is a frisbee with the addition of a beveled edge on the rim, similar to an airfoil. Much is known about the aerodynamic effects of frisbees and airfoils separately. However, little is known about the aerodynamic effects when the two are combined. The addition of a beveled edge, allows for significant differences to appear in the geometry of the discs due to factors such as nose angle, rim width and rim thickness. In this thesis, experimental testing and simulations are conducted to validate the common knowledge claims regarding the aerodynamic effects of flying discs. Field testing is done with a variety of discs provided to the thesis by the disc manufacturer Innova Champion Discs. The results of this testing are plotted and discussion is had regarding the trends seen in the data. Implementation of on board instrumentation for the purpose of collecting flight data is presented with varying success. Three-dimensional, complex fluid dynamics simulations are conducted using the finite element analysis software Ansys. These simulations test discs of differing geometries at varying orientations in non-inertial reference frames with both translational and rotational velocities. The results of these simulations are presented and used in discussion of the flight mechanics of flying discs due to differences in geometry.
