Kite Dynamics

KITE BUILDING & EXPERIMENT KIT!

Soar to new heights with a kite you design and build yourself!

Using a simple and unique connector system, your colorful kite sails can be configured in hundreds of ways to create a wide variety of kites.

Plan, build, and test kites again and again to determine which design is best. Experiment with how different bridle configurations affect the stability and maneuverability of your kite. Learn about lift, drag, Bernoulli’s principle, and the physics and history of flying kites. Build a kite ferry and a kite glider. Calculate how high your kite is flying, and determine the air temperature way up there.

A patented connector system is used to attach kite sails together. The design is elegant in its simplicity and flexibility. The same hub pieces are used to attach cross spars to the sails and to attach the sails together. Elastic straps fit tightly around the hub connectors at the ends of the sails in order to keep the kite together, even in strong breezes.

The experiment manual will tell you how the kite sails fit together and will give you some ideas for simple kites you can build. After you have built those, you can brainstorm up your own kite designs, build them and test them!
