A study of traditionnal throwing sticks and boomerang tuning
The first thing we could see about throwing sticks1 is their curved shapes. Though, even if their curved shape stabilise their flight by lowering their center of gravity, this seeming parameter isn't the only one to govern their trajectory. Others parameters, like their airfoil cross section, blade wideness, thickness, surface, and mass are also decisive. One another parameter less studied in d...

As another application, we derive a result of Durand, Levin and Shen [2, 3] that there are infinite s...
