ISBN: 0-87040-526-8 Language: English Description: "Two scientists offer instructions for making twenty-five types of kites, based on their discoveries of the aerodynamics of kite flying.
This is the first guide to making kites with a thorough scientific explanation for the merits of various kite designs. For four years, the coauthors experimented with over 1,000 model kites to unlock the secrets of their mystery. Now, they share their fascination with Right with the layman and offer a startling conclusion that challenges even the findings of the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration-that freeform kites of the authors' design outperform the Agency's own Gayla kite."
