Abstract:
1. A helium assisted kite system comprising: a kite assembly comprising; wherein a length, a width and a height of said kite assembly is defined by said frame and said cover fabric; wherein said cover fabric envelopes and attaches to said frame, said frame providing rigidity to said cover such that said cover remains in a stretched planar position in a ready for use condition; wherein said bottom spreader is deposed parallel to said top spreader and said spine is deposed perpendicular to said bottom spreader and said top spreader; wherein said perimeter rail is attached about a perimeter of said cover fabric and structured and arranged to provide a shape for said cover fabric in said stretched planar position; wherein said tubular gas chamber is non-removably attached about a perimeter of said cover fabric such that said tubular gas chamber comprises substantially a same shape as said cover fabric in said stretched planar position; wherein said tubular gas chamber comprises an inflatable gas channel; wherein said plurality of nocks are attached to and structured and arranged about said perimeter of said cover fabric such that said spine, said bottom spreader, said top spreader, and said perimeter rail are able to be attached to said cover fabric in said stretched planar position via said plurality of nocks; wherein said tow point of said bridle is located at a center of said bridle and comprises a point for attaching said flight string; wherein said bridle is attached to at least two perimeter edges of said kite assembly such that a flight of said kite assembly is able to remain substantially in a user preferred position as controlled; wherein said tail of said kite assembly is located at a bottom end of said kite assembly and is able to provide flight stabilization for said kite assembly; and wherein said kite assembly is useful for attaching said flight string to said tow point and allowing helium to fill said tubular gas chamber to lift said kite assembly upward above a ground surface into a high elevation wind on a windless day at said ground surface.
