With the exception of thrust , the forces acting on a kite are also the same forces which act on an airliner or a fighter plane. Like an aircraft, kites are heavier than air and rely on aerodynamic forces to fly. Gas balloons and bubbles, on the other hand, are lighter than air and rely on buoyancy forces to fly. A kite must be made as light as possible for good performance, yet be strong enough to withstand high winds. Flying While the forces on all kites are the same, each kite flies a little differently.
Some kites are highly maneuverable and some kites are very stable.
There are kites with multiple control lines that can perform stunts, while other kites can be flown to high altitudes. We can use math techniques that you learn in school to determine the altitude of a kite graphically . With a little more knowledge of mathematics, you can actually calculate the altitude at which the kite is flying. Regardless of the type of kite, the flyer must always fly safely for the protection of others, to protect property, and to insure that the kite can be flown again.
