What does NASA say about kites online? |
- The tow-launch of the hang glider Paresev was a kiting scene with
the wing occupied by live pilot; many of them released from the kiting
and concluded the hang glider flight in free-flight kite gliding where
the pilot's mass and the mass of the pilot holder was the resistive set
that tensioned the hang point to pull the wing.
- NASA has some quotes here and there on other kiting matters.
-
Lightning research is one of the first sciences developed in America.
Ben Franklin became famous for his experiment in which he flew a kite in
a thunderstorm to test his theory that lightning was the same as the
exciting, new phenomenon called electricity. (Franklin was lucky;
another scientist was electrocuted a few months later repeating the
experiment, so don't try it. Lightning kills.) Source:

The Francis M. Rogallo world in NASA provides a wide garden for "kite"
matters.
-
Gliding parachutes are kite systems; the payload is the resistive set;
the lines to the canopy are the tether set; the canopy wing is the
member of the upper-wing set.
