ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A flying-saucer (flying disc) amusement device which is thrown by hand having greater stability and range than prior known devices. The device achieves superior per- formance by the addition of "pimple" shaped or other shaped discrete spoilers on the upper surface of the flying saucer which creates a thin layer of turbulent air over the entire upper surface of the flying disc reducing aerodynamic drag. The raised spoilers are arranged in annular rings which may cover part or all of the upper surface of the flying saucer. The annular rings can be placed at varying intervals. Each interval defines an "equator" which provides additional flight stability, helps to prevent "slicing" of the throw and also improves the range of the device. When one or more annular rings of discrete, raised spoilers are placed at or near the periphery of the device (but not at or near the centre of the device), the discrete, raised spoilers add a small additional weight to the device which serves to dispro- portionately increase its angular momentum and, hence, its range.
