If you look at the shape of a Frisbee strait on it has the same shape as an airplane wing. It works on the same principle.

What does size have to do with frisbee flight?
Large frisbee=better lift; stays in the air longer small frisbee=drops sooner, is faster Heavy frisbee=drops sooner, better accuracy light frisbee=drops later, may get blown off course by the wind
What is the lift force in an aircraft?
The lift force is the force acting against the aircraft's weight. For straight and level flight, lift acts in the upward vertical direction and the weight of the aircraft acts in the downward vertical direction. For level flight, lift = weight.
What is the force the keeps the plane in the air?
The four forces of flight are : Lift, Thrust, Drag, and Gravity. The answer to your question is Lift.
The upward force acting on the wing of an airplane in flight is called?
Lift.
What are the 4 forces of aerodynamics?
The four forces of flight acting on an airplane in flight are, Lift,Weight,Thrust and Drag. They are all in equilibrium when an unaccelerated flight is exist.
What does size have to do with frisbee flight?
Large frisbee=better lift; stays in the air longer small frisbee=drops sooner, is faster Heavy frisbee=drops sooner, better accuracy light frisbee=drops later, may get blown off course by the wind
What has more lift than a frisbee?
Paper.
What does the wing do on a plane?
It provides lift to keep the plane airborne.
Where is the lift in a vertical flight?
there is no lift in vertical flight, it is all thrust.
How do you draw frisbee?
The frisbee needs to generate lift on the exterior edge of the surface (like an aircarft wing). A sheet of paper is not a frisbee, but a sheet of paper with the shape of a wing all the way around it would be.
If object thrown vertically on moon will it travel farther than one thrown on earth?
Yes, because there is less gravity on the moon. Also, because there is no air friction on the Moon. However, a frisbee thrown on the Moon will not travel as far as one properly thrown on Earth, because the shape of the frisbee generates lift which will keep it flying farther. With no air on the Moon, a frisbee cannot "fly".
What is a frisbee has a round shape?
The shape of a Frisbee is a disc, with an airfoil cross-section. As with aeroplanes, this airfoil shape generates lift as it moves through the air.
What is the function of a frisbee?
The Frisbee was made to be thrown. In Ultimate, if you do not throw the disc, then you cannot score, and nobody would ever have fun. Since throwing is the only way to advance the disc, this is what you have to do, making it the msot important aspect of Frisbee.
What is true of a rocket flight but not airplane flight?
It has the ability to create lift in a vacuum -apex
What is true of rocket flight but not airplane flight?
It has the ability to create lift in a vacuum -apex
Which of these statements is true of rocket flight but not airplane flight?
It has the ability to create lift in a vacuum.
How does a frisbee fly?
the rim of the frisbee pushes the airstream under the frisbee creating lift and the small ridges u probably see are made to create turbulence which balances with the airstream that goes over the top of the frisbee it. this turbulence allows the air to flow right across the top of the frisbee making the air flow over the top of the frisbee faster then the air flow underneath it. this allows the frisbee to fly farther and keep its speed and yeah im righting a whole report on frisbees and ive studied how frisbees work and why their built the way they are for a long time so this answer is completely write!
