Tethered Flight: The History and Applications of Kites (Aerial Photography, Extreme Sports, Weather, and More)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Air lifts and keeps kites afloat, while a tether secures the kite to land allowing the kite to be manipulated and maneuvered.

Soar along as this book takes us to the heights of kites, including the geometry of kites, the applications, kites used for extreme sports such as kite boarding and snowkiting, designs, and much more.
