Boomerangs
A. Gautam
Many people think of Australia and Aborigines when they hear the word “boomerang,” but boomerangs have been used all over the world. In fact, boomerangs that were thousands of years old have been discovered in parts of Europe and also in Egypt.
Historians are not sure of the boomerang’s origin. Some historians think the boomerang was made from a flattened throwing stick. This was used for hunting. Today’s boomerang has been refined and made stronger.
Materials such as paxolin (a strong, rigid paper laminate) and carbon fiber (strengthening material), or even birch wood are used. There are even computer-aided drawing programs which help to increase the flight of the boomerang. They can stay in the air up to several minutes and travel over 200 yards (about 182.88 meters).
