Box kites have 3-dimensional units, either squares, triangles or rectangles, and can be combined to form a long train. These kites can garner enough strength to lift a person off the ground.
Deltas fly in a forward direction.
These steerable kites can take crash landings better because there are no spars that can snap. Flexifoils are a variation of the parafoil, with one rigid spar at the top. All Rights Reserved Siouxland Network.
