Boomerangs are devices historically known for their capability of returning to their thrower after being launched into the air. However, their trajectory is heavily influenced by environmental and initial conditions, with the latter including throwing the boomerang with the correct roll angle and imparting adequate linear and rotational speed. In an attempt to expand the capabilities of classic boomerangs, Adrian Stoica introduced the concept of a ’smart boomerang’. This boomerang adjusts its flight control surfaces or other internal characteristics to achieve much more complex trajectories than those feasible with standard boomerangs. It can even end its flight at a different location from where it was launched, which is useful if it is to be retrieved by a vehicle in motion.
