Best Answer

When thrown the top wing of the spin moves in the same direction ,while the wing on the bottom of the spin moves in the opposite direction of the throw. The wing on top is spinning at the same speed as the bottom wing. More air passes under the top wing which lifts the boomerang. The boomerang travels in a circle returning back to the thrower.
