The Physics of Kite Flying

Kite flying is a fun activity for all ages, requiring a windy location. The physics of kite flying is similar to airplane wings, involving lift and drag forces. Kites are stabilized with strings and tails, aligning with the wind to maintain direction. Lightweight materials are essential for easy flight. Running while pulling the kite creates apparent wind, aiding in lift and altitude gain.
