An ordinary boomerang has a fixed angle of its wings and its flying course and pattern are heavily influenced by this angle. If we change this angle then its flying course and pattern will change. The present invented modifiable boomerang has a hinge joint installed at its center to allow adjustment of its angle.
Every boomerang has its wings set at a certain angle. Therefore, it has a certain flying pattern. When the angle of a boomerang changes its flying pattern will change also. The present invented modifiable boomerang is equipped with a hinge joint at the center to allow the thrower to change the angle of the boomerang and thus change the flying pattern of the boomerang.

The top wing blade 4 and bottom wing blade 5 have a top curved surface and a flat bottom surface.

The way to assemble the modifiable boomerang 3 is first to align the pivot hole 10 of the top wing blade 4 with the pivot hole 10 of the bottom wing blade 5 and then insert the pivot bolt 9 into the pivot hole 10 and screw on the pivot nut 11 tightly to make a modifiable boomerang 3. The angle 12 of the modifiable boomerang 3 can be set by first loosening the pivot nut 11, then aligning any bolt hole 6 of the top wing blade 4 with any bolt hole 6 of the bottom wing blade 5, then inserting bolt 7 through the bolt hole 6, then screwing on nut 8 tightly, and finally tightening the pivot nut 11. When the angle 12 is changed, the air dynamics of a thrown modifiable boomerang will be changed. Therefore a thrower can change the angle 12 of the modifiable boomerang 3 to change its flying pattern.
