| July 29, 2020, post by Joe Faust Slingshot as Kite System The slingshot as a kite system:
Anchor wing, tethers-as-wings, sling-as-wing
So, we have the tensional coupling and flight in flows as needed for "kite."
Notice that a slingshot may launch objects of many sorts, even other kite systems. Even FFAWE systems!
Similarity cases:
Launching by bungee of a sailplane is a known kite system.
