Physics of a Frisbee
Unfortunately, the physics of a frisbee is very similar to the blog I did about the physics of an airplane, with the larger distance for the air to go on the top of the frisbee and the lesser distance on bottom so the change in pressure causes a rise to the frisbee and then the horizontal force you apply to the frisbee moves it this way while the pressure keeps it in the air.
However, there is another thing that I think applies to the frisbee that does not affect an airplane, and that is the angular momentum. With the disc spinning one way, the angular momentum would be pushing down, making the disc go up, so this combination of things cause the flight of the frisbee.
