which includes kite hang glider and kite paragliders
 

Suggest a type of kite:
 
 

A kite is a system of tether-coupled wing sets.
Wing sets involved are resistive anchors to some of the other wing sets in the system. Anchors may be considered as wing sets. Flown media may be air, other gases, water, other liquids, soils, solids, plasmas, ..or a mix of media where parts of the kite are in one media and the other parts in some other media, perhaps.
