Then how do you explain how well a simple flat disk such as a CD will
fly? It certainly has no airfoil shape.
They don't. At least none of the CD's that I've ever thrown went
very far. They all roll immediately and change direction.
I used to work at a CD plant, so I had a few to throw around.
You need better technique. I can get 50' out of a CD. A larger and
heavier thin disk will go a lot farther even.
