The Japanese were known to have used kites to lift building materials during tower construction and in Malaya fishing kites developed and are still in use in Asia today.

At the beginning of the 18th century, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Wilson_%28astronomer%29 '''Alexander Wilson'''] in Scotland used a ‘train’ of kites to gain extra height for meteorological experiments and, in 1752, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benjamin_Franklin '''Benjamin Franklin'''] performed his famous ''(and very dangerous!)'' electricity experiment with a kite.

In 1901 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_Franklin_Cody '''S.F. Cody'''] patented a man-lifting kite and, while at NASA [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francis_Rogallo '''Francis Rogallo'''] patented his Flexible Kite in 1948 that resulted in the development of hang gliders, as we know them today.
