By at least 549 AD paper kites were being flown, as it was recorded in that year a paper kite was used as a message for a rescue mission. The kite was said to be the invention of the famous 5th century BC Chinese philosophers Mozi and Lu Ban.
HistoryĪpproximately 2800 years ago the kite was first invented and popularized in China, where materials ideal for kite building were readily available: silk fabric for sail material, fine, high-tensile-strength silk for flying line, and resilient bamboo for a strong, lightweight framework. Tethering kites from satellites, asteroids, spacecraft dragging kites in the space plasma, tractors (pulling soil kites), ships trolling hydro kites (large industry for fishing, sounding, research of water characteristics, surveillence, delivery of munitions, site-seeing, etc.), etc. There are kites in plasma, water, gases, soils, and even solids. A kite is an object tethered in a stream of matter so that interaction of that stream with the specific shape of the object results in a net positioning of the object off the ambient direction of the streaming matter. The medium of a kite need not be air the stream may be water, plasma, soil, gases that are not air, etc. Power kites are multi-line steerable kites designed to generate excess force which can be applied in related activities such as kite surfing, kite landboarding or kite buggying. In addition to kites that are flown for recreation, art or practical use, there are sport kites and power kites. This drag is opposed with the tension of the one or more lines held by the operator of the kite. In addition to the lift, this deflection generates horizontal drag along the direction of the wind. The necessary lift that makes the kite fly is generated when airflow over and under the kite creates low pressure above the kite and high pressure below it. A man flying a kite on the beach, a good location for flying as winds travelling across the sea contain few up or down draughts which cause kites to fly erratically.Ī kite is a flying tethered object, not necessarily, but usually made by humans A spider web holding a leaf just right would form a kite humans are not essential.
