    A first-person point of view of someone flying a kite. The Yokaichi Giant Kite Festival is held every July in Higashiomi, Shiga, Japan. [1] Various kites being flown Star-shaped kite above a meadow south of Hockenheim. This sparless, ram-air inflated kite, has a complex bridle formed of many strings attached to the face of the wing.

    powered scale and manned Distinguish a product that is not a kite (called RC Kite) from true kites that have radio controls on a kite-lined kite wing. Ram-air kites Sled kites with ram-air cavities and Jalbert parafoil power kites are ram-air kites. The wind rams into the cavities and inflates sections of a kite to give the kite shape and ...

  5. Box kite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Box_kite

    The skin is drum-tight, a consequence of the unique tensioning system devised by Hargrave. A collapsed kite, rolled up for transport, lies on the ground. A box kite is a high-performance kite, noted for developing relatively high lift; it is a type within the family of cellular kites. The typical design has four parallel struts.

  6. Kite (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

    A kite is a quadrilateral with reflection symmetry across one of its diagonals. Equivalently, it is a quadrilateral whose four sides can be grouped into two pairs of adjacent equal-length sides. [1] [7] A kite can be constructed from the centers and crossing points of any two intersecting circles. [8]

  7. Tetrahedral kite - Wikipedia

    A tetrahedral kite being flown. A tetrahedral kite is a multicelled rigid box kite composed of tetrahedrally shaped cells to create a kind of tetrahedral truss. The cells are usually arranged in such a way that the entire kite is also a regular tetrahedron. The kite can be described as a compound dihedral kite as well.

    A Boeing 737 airliner is an example of a fixed-wing aircraft The fixed wings of a delta-shaped kite are not rigid. A fixed-wing aircraft is a heavier-than-air aircraft, such as an airplane, which is capable of flight using aerodynamic lift.

  9. Penrose tiling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penrose_tiling

    The kite is a quadrilateral whose four interior angles are 72, 72, 72, and 144 degrees. The kite may be bisected along its axis of symmetry to form a pair of acute Robinson triangles (with angles of 36, 72 and 72 degrees). The dart is a non-convex quadrilateral whose four interior angles are 36, 72, 36, and 216 degrees. The dart may be bisected ...
