Synopsis

This book gives a visual explanation of the physics of kites in flight. With 125 pictures, illustrations, and 65 experiments it answers the questions: Are tails required on a kite? How can I improve the flight of my kite? What are the forces that act on my kite? What changes can I try? Do kites glide? What are some applications of kites that I can explore?Quotes: "You have done a wonderful job. I think a lot of people will find this very useful for teaching and for getting their kites to fly! I wish I had had this book when I was a kid.” John Bognar, PhD."It's fun. An excellent resource and learning tool for students and educators. An enjoyable stepping stone into the physics of flight. I highly recommend this book." Christine Traboulssi; Kite builder"It is fantastic! This is a comprehensive and readable discussion covering many unknowns of kite flying... the author brings a wealth of experience and practices to fliers of all ages." Geoff Bland, NASA
