  1. Team Fantastic FourKites

  2. Dopero Kites

  3. Invented in 1994 in Germany by Ralf Beutnagel. • Idea came from Pearson Roller kites. • Two Pearson Roller kites connected side by side. • DOublePEarsonROller • Light wind kite • Materials: Rip-stop nylon & carbon fibre spars – minimum weight • Standard 3 meters in length History

  4. Commonly used for aerial photography • Great stability due to 4 bridles • Lifting capacity: up to 4 pounds, even in light winds. • Can easily lift camera gear. Practical Use

  5. Delta Kites

  6. Design • Named after the fourth letter in the Greek alphabet, Delta, which is triangular in shape, a Delta kite also appear triangular • They display an efficient design that out preforms most other kites in light wind • They also fly higher than most kites at high angles. • They are easily adaptable to many wind conditions, and often have longer towing lines that enable stress of flying to be decreased along the frame of the kite

  7. Often Delta Kites are uses as decorative pieces, and recreational use • They are a popular kite for conducting weather related temperature experiments as well as other weather related uses, for instance barometer readings. Practical Applications

  8. Kites can be used to measure atmospheric conditions. • By measuring the atmospheric conditions, the customer can figure out if the weather is in normal conditions or inverse conditions. • This can be done by looking at the change of temperature between the ground and in the air. Practical Applications for Kites

  9. For this applications, I recommend the box kite design. • This kite is known to be a good lifter for objects, the structure is rigid and can easily develop high lift. Box Kite

  10. The first design was credited to William Allison of Ohio in 1950 • Invented for recreational use. • 1954 Frank Scott, came up with another version. • This one had vents for stability, and the sides were parallel instead of tapering. Sled Kites

  11. Recreational Use • Used by anglers to cast out fishing line • Known for lifting capabilities Practical Applications
