How do we do this when making a kite?
|
Drag
| Decrease | We need to make sure it is pointed, We need to make sure that it is angled correctly to the wind. |
Lift
| Increase | Longer string, face it in to the wind |
Gravity
| Decrease | We make it streamlined, use light material |
Thrust
| Increase | Strong,steady wind. |
The sled kite was invented and patented by the American, William Allison in the 1950s. This kite helped pave the way for a class of kites known as "semi-rigid." Allison’s kite has only vertical spars
