<div class="moz-cite-prefix">I am not an expert, but I would start
with a simple model:<br>
<br>
0. Initial force, rotation and angle to the ground<br>
1. Speed will make it lighter<br>
2. Rotation speed will make it stable<br>
3. The angle to the ground gives a directional force<br>
4. Angle to the ground changes the speed of falling<br>
5. Gravity will pull it down<br>
<br>
I have some idea in mind how this could be calculated, but
unfortunately no time to dive into it :/<br>
<br>
My starting point would be the trajectory of a projectile and
adding the other parameters on top of it to change the path.<br>

It’s the later part of the flight that need to be “floaty”. An
ellipse would dive down at the end.

<div>BTW, this just to be a side view, and I’m not worried about
whether the frisbee should veer left or right. Also the disc
will remain horizontal, it’s just the height off the ground I
want to be right.</div>
