A ROTATING PLASTIC DISC, such as a Frisbee, indicates high lift coefficients. To examine this phenomenon, experimental research was conducted, using a specially-constructed rotating water tank. Test results demonstrated both lift increase and drag decrease for rotating discs compared to values for nonrotating discs.
