Boomerang

A boomerang is a curved, flat tool traditionally made of wood, designed to return to the thrower when thrown correctly. Originating from Indigenous Australian cultures, it was primarily used for hunting and sport. When thrown with a specific technique, the shape and angle create lift, enabling it to travel in a circular path back to the starting point. While often associated with recreation today, boomerangs reflect intricate craftsmanship and deep cultural significance in indigenous societies. They demonstrate principles of aerodynamics and physics, making them both an interesting object and a subject of study in the science of flight.
