  2. Kite (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kite_(geometry)

    When an equidiagonal kite has side lengths less than or equal to its diagonals, like this one or the square, it is one of the quadrilaterals with the greatest ratio of area to diameter. [21] A kite with three 108° angles and one 36° angle forms the convex hull of the lute of Pythagoras, a fractal made of nested pentagrams. [22]

  3. Right kite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_kite

    In Euclidean geometry, a right kite is a kite (a quadrilateral whose four sides can be grouped into two pairs of equal-length sides that are adjacent to each other) that can be inscribed in a circle. [1] That is, it is a kite with a circumcircle (i.e., a cyclic kite). Thus the right kite is a convex quadrilateral and has two opposite right ...

  4. Isosceles trapezoid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isosceles_trapezoid

    Any non-self-crossing quadrilateral with exactly one axis of symmetry must be either an isosceles trapezoid or a kite. [5] However, if crossings are allowed, the set of symmetric quadrilaterals must be expanded to include also the crossed isosceles trapezoids, crossed quadrilaterals in which the crossed sides are of equal length and the other sides are parallel, and the antiparallelograms ...

  5. Man-lifting kite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man-lifting_kite

    In the 1820s British inventor George Pocock developed man-lifting kites, using his own children in his experimentation. [8]In the early 1890s, Captain B. F. S. Baden-Powell, soon to become president of the Aeronautical Society of Great Britain, developed his "Levitor" kite, a hexagonal-shaped kite intended to be used by the army in order to lift a man for aerial observation or for lifting ...

    However, nylon string with stronger glue is now often the preferred line. Kites can go up to 3,500 meters in height depending on the size of the kite. [citation needed] From 1996 to 2001, the Taliban government in Afghanistan outlawed kite fighting, and kite flying, by declaring it "un-Islamic".

  7. Power kite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_kite

    The lift generated by the kite and other flying characteristics are affected by the kite's angle of attack, which is set by the bridle; the arrangement of lines which terminate the main kite lines and attach to a number of points across the kite's surface. Power kites having 4 or 5 lines come in two variants, fixed bridle and depowerable.

    9. Kansas. When it comes to expensive states for homeowners, the state of Kansas doesn’t often come to mind. But it has an average property tax rate of 1.26%.

  9. Kite line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kite_line

    Depending on the kite application and kite system needs, selecting a kite line will consider one or more of the following parameters: availability, base material, color, density, mass per length, size, manufacturer's reports, serial number or product number, diameter, cross-section shape, tensile strength new, aged tensile strength, resistance damage from chemicals, defects, safety factor ...
