    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 ...

    In physics, the term sometimes refers collectively to electromagnetic radiation of any wavelength, in which case light includes gamma rays, X-rays, microwaves, and radio waves, but in common usage "light" more often refers specifically to visible light. linear actuator A form of motor that generates a linear movement directly. linear algebra

  4. Tetrahedral kite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetrahedral_kite

    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. An early design of the tetrahedron kite from Alexander ...

    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.

    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]

  8. Kite experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kite_experiment

    The kite experiment is a scientific experiment in which a kite with a pointed conductive wire attached to its apex is flown near thunder clouds to collect static electricity from the air and conduct it down the wet kite string to the ground.

  9. 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 ...
