What are some applications of kites that I can explore?Quotes: "You have done a wonderful job. I think a lot of people will find this very useful for teaching and for getting their kites to fly! I wish I had had this book when I was a kid.” John Bognar, PhD."It's fun. An excellent resource and learning tool for students and educators. An enjoyable stepping stone into the physics of flight.
