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.

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!
