Clearly and with details, desribe how you would design a Frisbee for distance.?

Include downsides to your design. Keep in mind that in order for a Frisbee to fly for great distance it must stay parallel to the ground like a wing.

I can't put too much details but it would have to be as aerodynamically sound as possible and therefore was to be as much less as a square as possible without any air friction.

I would add more mass to the frisbie. That way, it would have more kinetic energy when it leaves the hand of the thrower. With more kinetic energy, it will take more collisions with air molecules to stop it from flying. However, the mass should not be so large that it significantly reduces the speed at release. That is, adding mass in grams works, but adding mass in tens of kilograms won't.

It is extremely difficult to design an excellent frisbee without flaws, but that said, i would design it with raised edges and a rounded shape of course; much like a plate i think would fly best.

But the raised edges would limit your throwing ability therefore making the frisbee unusable. Possibly having just a flat surface with the edges perfectly flat?

Difficult question.
