Further work with Kites
From DT Online
Choose a suitable Kite design and make one which will not only fly, but also perform some other function {e.g. to take an overhead photograph or to parachute soft toys on to a ground target as part of a game).
Alternatively, explore some Kite applications by typing key words into a Search Engine to find out about them.
For example:
- Find out a method of determining how high the kite is flying.
- Make your kite produce a sound when airborne.
- Use a Kite to generate energy.
- Devise a way of dropping a parachute or launching a glider from the kite.
- Find out the maximum payload kites can lift and establish if this can be predicted.
- Use a kite for aerial photography.
- Devise a method of measuring wind speed.
- Try flying a ‘train’ of kites.
- Design a kite flying game
- Design a launching reel or winch.
