Flying debris is generated in several situations: when a roof is exposed to a storm, when ice accretes on rotating wind turbines,\nor during inflight aircraft deicing. Four dimensionless parameters play a role in the motion of flying debris. The goal of the\npresent paper is to investigate the relative importance of four dimensionless parameters: the Reynolds number, the Froude number,\nthe Tachikawa number, and the mass moment of inertia parameters. Flying debris trajectories are computed with a fluid-solid\ninteraction model formulated for an incompressible 2D laminar flow. The rigid moving solid effects are modelled in the Navier-\nStokes equations using penalization. A VIC scheme is used to solve the flow equations.The aerodynamic forces and moments are\nused to compute the acceleration and the velocity of the solid. A database of 64 trajectories is built using a two-level full factorial\ndesign for the four factors. The dispersion of the plate position at a given horizontal position decreases with the Froude number.\nMoreover, the Tachikawa number has a significant effect on the median plate position
