Ask an Explainer
Q:
I want to make a simple kite. Explain to me how kites fly. What steps do I need to take to build a kite? What are the forces that make a kite fly?
A:
To find out what a kite is, how it flies, and what forces are acting on a kite, I would checkout the National Air and Space Museum’s blog on “How Kites Fly.” For more information on kites visit the NASA “Beginner’s Guide to Kites” website. This website will provide you with detailed information about the design, construction, and flight characteristics of several types of kites.
