    Apr 26, 2012 · A kite is a heavier-than-air object that flies… just like an airplane. Most kites have three main components: the kite body (which comes in many different shapes and sizes), the bridle (or harness), and the control line (or tether). The kite body is made up of a framework and outer covering.

    A kite will fly if it finds enough wind to lift it and keep it in the sky. Successful kite flight depends upon establishing and maintaining a balance between the upward force of lift, the downward force of gravity, and the backward force of drag.

    Oct 19, 2023 · Kites fly because of the aerodynamic forces of lift and drag. The lift is created by the difference in air pressure on the top and bottom of the kite. The drag is created by the friction of the air flowing around the kite. The weight of the kite is balanced by the lift. The thrust is created by the wind blowing on the kite.

    A kite has three essential elements: “First, a wing surface shaped or contrived so that it gains lift from the breeze; Second, a line or tether that keeps the kite from being blown helplessly away, and in the process, sets the limits of its flying; and. Third, a bridle that holds the face of the kite at an angle to the wind.” [Brummit]
