Kite for performing aerobatics or towing a person on the ground

摘要

The kite has a flattened ellipsoid structure with ribs forming chambers that are open at the front and fitted with non-return flaps at the back. It has a system of shrouds attached at one end to the ribs and at the other, to a pair of control lines. The leading edge of the kite is of double thickness, is hollow and has an aperture closed by Velcro (RTM: polyamide) strips to allow for the insertion of an inflatable balloon. The kite has a flattened ellipsoid structure similar to that of a parapenting wing, with ribs forming chambers of aerofoil lengthwise sections, open at the front to allow in air and fitted with non-return flaps at the back to slow down the rate at which they deflate. It has a system of shrouds (9 10, 11) attached at one end to the ribs and at the other to a pair of control lines (12). The leading edge (1) of the kite is of double thickness and is hollow. It has an aperture, closed by Velcro (RTM) strips, to allow for the insertion of an inflatable balloon.
