Further work with Kites

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.
