Designer’s Notes
– What’s New:
We concentrated on improving control over the kite’s wind range in three ways.
1. The wing tip angles (direct response steering) have been reworked in all sizes, to create less drag on the kite;
2. The arc in the center area has been rounded out. This increases the surface in the middle of the kite and allows the trailing edge curve to match the leading edge shape perfectly;
3. We developed a new automated application involving the calculations of the leading edge’s moment of inertia, Young modulus, and air pressure, to generate the perfect LE diameter for each kite size.
– The Result:
1. The kite is able to fly faster and further forward in the window, providing more lift efficiency, better low-end and all-around stability.
2. The kite generates more power in the low end and is more lift efficient.
3. Each kite size has ideal LE rigidity and the smallest drag possible, to fly as far forward as possible.
