Abstract

Flying Saucer(flying disk type UFO) is a rotating disk that flies through the air. Thus, the aerodynamical features of the Flying Saucer can be estimated by taking a close look on the aerodynamics of the rotating disk. In the present paper, the aerodynamics of the rotating disk are reviewed focusing on the their application to the possibility of the UFO type VTOL aircraft. Finally, a combination of Avro Aircraft and Frisbee concepts is suggested as a possible new UFO type VTOL aircraft.
