The distance between the boomerang's center of lift and center of gravity causes the front edge of the boomerang's rotation to rise. Because of gyroscopic procession this force on the axis of spin is twisted at right angles, making the boomerang "lie down" during its flight. As the boomerang lies down the overall lifting force of the boomerang is aligned closer to the center of gravity, causing the boomerang to rise. |
