What are the aerodynamic principles behind the Boomerang?

Just as a standard aerofoil on a plane (ie the wing) provides a force which tends to lift the wing, the spinning, angled boomerang creates a 'lift' force which acts against the centripetal force and is stronger, so it will travel in a circular trajectory. read more

Aerodynamics of Boomerangs Introduction The purpose of the article is to present you with fundamental knowledge behind the aerodynamics of boomerangs and principles, which allow you to build your own boomerang constructions. read more

A boomerang works for the same reason an airplane turns. The force on the wing provides lift. When the wings are asymmetrical, one wing will experience different force from the other, and it turns. read more
