Abstract

The kite employs a flexible leading edge (11) with one or more spines (12, 13) orientated substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of symmetry of the kite. The spines (12, 13) may be in a number of constructions but substantially all constructions provide a shape so as to assist in producing camber in the kite skin. The kite may include either flexible or rigid bridling with a number of attachment points of the leading edge (11) and spines (12, 13).
