Starlin's Learning the Physics behind the Flying of a Kite

There are many things you have to know about flying a kite for example a kite needs Lift vs Gravity. For example Wind moving across from the sail of the kite creates the pressure for the kite to fly. So in this case it Lifts the kite up and makes it able to fly. The Gravity of the kite is the downward force, The force is creates by the weight that the kite has.



Although there are forces like Lift Vs Gravity there is also a force named " Drag " Kites include Drag in many ways for example Drag is created by the wind resistance on the kites surface. Another example is that the turbulence behind the kite can also be a result. 

Dihedral is also a force from a kite Dihedral is another word for geomatry Dihedraal describes the angle formed when two wings come together. 



" Yaw " do you know what that means ? Yaw is a action that rotates about a kites vertical axis.  " Pitch " Pitch is the rotating action about a kites lateral axis.  And last but not least " Roll " ​Roll is the rotating action about a Kite's longitudinal axis. ​   Wow there is alot of axis's in Kites's :).

Tai's Learning the Physics behind the Flying of a Kite

Now we will all learn a little bit more about gravity than what you do know from school. Gravitation, or gravity, is a natural phenomenon by which all physical bodies attract each other. It is most commonly recognized and experienced as the agent that gives weight to physical objects and causes physical objects to fall toward the ground when dropped from a height. Now as you know well should know gravity is the only thing keeping us on this planet. If it wasn't for that we all be floating around in space somewhere. Even though jumping higher would be great but the only thing is that you would be risking he chance of being lost in space. Which is not a good thing. It is hypothesized that the gravitational force is mediated by a massless spin-2 particle called the gravitation. 

Jeremiah's Setting Goals for your Team

For are amazing group kite we must need goals. Here are my teams goals.

Goal 1:  have the highest flying kite. We can have that because are kite is going to be light weighted. 

Goal 2:  have the longest flying kite we are going to make it balance so it can stay in the air.

Goal 3: have the smallest flying kite because in order to do all of the goals we got to have the smallest.

Jeremiah's Biography

Tai's Setting Goals for your Team

I know to some people making goals aren't the first thing they want to do. I know this feeling because when I was little the teacher would tell me to make a goal. The first thing I would write is something like beating a level in a video game or something else that wasn't related to school. In this case, they would tell me they wouldn't accept it because it's either not about school or it doesn't have to do with what we are doing in school. I feel my group picked the highest flying kite as our first goal personally because I feel that everyone around should be able to see our kite. Our second goal, is to keep that kite in the air the longest. I feel that might be the hardest because the last time I even used a kite I was like 4 and it crashed in a tree. Now the last goal we made up was having the smallest kite but the first thing I thought was how we are getting a design on it! 

Jeremiah's Theme

Today was a day that started of terrible then became a historical event in society. The argument had started off with Ms Grate telling my group to pick a theme .Suddenly a debate had started between Christian and I.Boom inspiration had struck christian  he wanted to pick animals because an eagle is our school mascot and I wanted to pick Death because it is a mysterious thing i mean have you ever wounded what happens when you die? So my friend Starlin had made an amazing and creative  solution. So he made us compromised, which is to combine our choices, so he said, "Lets have Deathly Eagles." Both me and Christian had loved the theme and stopped arguing at once and from there we been friends.

Starlin's Exploring Various Styles of Kites

Flat kite- A Flat Kite is a kite that is straight.

Bowed Kite- A Bowed kite is a kite that is basicaly inflatable kites that incorporate a bridle. 

Cellular Kite- Cellular kite are types of kites that perform good threw windy sutations, they are 3 dimensional flying kites. 

​Multi- Line - A Multi line kite is basicaly a stunt kite. It can be maneuvered in the air. 

Fighters & Flexible - They are special kites that are used for kite fighting. Most of these kites are small.

Figure - A figure of a kite is basicaly an example.

Soft - Soft kites establish and hold their own shape with air pressure these kites are easy to set up and take down but may take alot of time. 

Stacks & Train - Train kites have some wings in the kite all using the same tether set they use the same tether set so that they can both bet treated the same for example if you pull one of the wings one side it will go the side you want it to go. There are alot of example's of Kite Stacks and Kite Trains like Snakes, Trains, Dragons, Centipedes, chains, and beads. 

Christian's Kite Vocabulary

What are the parts of a kite?

Bridle :The "Bridle" puts the surface of the Kite at the correct angle to the wind so that it has Lift to fly, as well as stability.

Fittings: The  fitting of a kite is basically the 2 sticks that go across from each other that makes the kite not wiggle everywhere.

Keel - In the simplest kite, you have two thin crossed pieces of wood covered by paper. The keel is the longer piece of wood.

Line - 

Kite line comes in many different sizes, diameter, lengths, weights, and construction.   Choosing the right line for you kite is almost as important as choosing the kite itself.  ​Sail - is the wings of the kite that basically makes the kite goes different ways when the wind comes a certain way. Spars- are the sticks which hold the kites shape against the wind. Tail:-kites have a tail to stability and proper flight. without the tail, kites will come down and crash because then will be blown over. Tow point:- The tow point of the kite makes the kite stay how it is and go different directions.Spreader - The Upper Spreader is a single piece that connects to the Upper Leading Edge via Leading Edge Fittings. The Upper Spreader does not connect to the Spine directly, but the center of the Upper Spreader will touch, or nearly touch, the Sail against the Spine. Spine-.The spine of a kite is the two sticks that stretches the kite so it can stay flying straight.

Tai's Kite Vocabulary

Now does anyone know every part of a kite, no. Well maybe yet, do you know what each and every part does. Not too many people try to find out but that's ok I'm going to do all that for you. Yes, you heard me right I said I'll do it all for you. Ok let me start with the spine of the kite. 

      The spine of a kite is the two sticks that stretches the kite so it can stay flying straight. 

     Now the Brindle is the part of the kite that puts the surface of the kite at the correct angle to the wind giving it a lift to fly up, up and away. 

     Next we have the Fittings - A fitting of a kite is basically the piece that makes the 2 sticks that go across from each other stick allowing it to stay together and does not fall apart. 

     Now the Line - The kites line is what comes in all sorts of sizes, diameter, length, weight, and construction. 

     Now this piece I feel is one of the most important pieces, Sail - is the wings of the kite that basically makes the kite go different ways when the wind comes a certain way. 

     Keel - You have two thin crossed pieces of wood covered by paper right. Well the keel is the longer piece of wood. 

      Spars - Spars are the sticks which hold the kite shape against the wind.

       Tail - Kites have tails for stability and proper flight. Without the tail, kites will come crashing back to the earth because they will just be blowing over. 

        Spreader - The Upper Spreader is a single piece that connects to the Upper Leading Edge via Leading Edge Fittings. The Upper Spreader does not connect to the Spine directly, but the center of the Upper Spreader will touch, or nearly touch, the Sail against the Spine. 

          Tow point - The tow point of the kite makes the kite stay how it is and go different directions. 

History of kites Comic Strips

 

Are we artists or what ? :) 

Yes yes we are :) 

Now when it comes to thinking about kites first thing that I think of besides flying one, is one of our great Presidents Benjamin Franklin but not for America he was president of Pennsylvania. The first United States   Ambassador to France to. I don't know much about him yet out of what I do know is that Benjamin Franklin studied kites for many years and that led to people continuing his work for 150 years. He also signed the declaration of independence which, has nothing to do with what we are doing right now so I shouldn't mention it but the only thing I will mention is that it was done on this date July 4 1776 in Washington D.C.

Deathly Eagle Kite Goals

 When I was young and, still even now all of my teachers always say set goals for yourself and you will do great things. For  example they said that I might own a school or something small like finally learn how to ride a bike.But now i'm all grown up and now understand why we need to set goals.So my goals for my group is to...

Goal#1:Have The highest flying kite

Goal#2:Have The smallest flying kite

Goal#3:Have The longest flying kite

            Goal#1: My group and I picked the " highest flying kite" as our first goal because when I was young my, Mom and Dad always said to dream big and reach for the clouds.So I would want our kite our to reach for the clouds to show that we as a group dream big and do our best.

            Goal#2: Me and my group picked the" smallest flying kite" for our kite because we, all agreed that our school is an "environmental engineering school" that tries  to save and conserve energy and paper, and ,fabric, almost everything to help the earth.

            Goal#3: Finally my group and I for our last goal picked the" longest flying kite' as our last goal because we really wanted to show off our school by showing that we don't give up and that we stand Strong and shine bright in the the sky.

     Now that I told you guys my goals for our kites, I now must achieve them!

Christian's Deathly Eagles Theme
