It all started in China
No one knows when the first kite was created. Mentions of these flying structures appeared in Chinese documents as early as the 2nd century BC. Kites were made from bamboo, silk and paper. They got their name from one of the most popular forms of toys - a dragon. He was made of large sizes with a bared, painted muzzle and a long tail fluttering in the wind, decorated with feathers, ribbons, lanterns, and even supplied with special sound devices - snake music. Flying dragons were indispensable participants in all major festivities. Kites are still in big fashion in China. In Beijing, there are specially designated places for launching aerial structures, in particular the park near the Temple of Heaven.
Since ancient times, flying toys have gained immense popularity in Japan, Korea, Malaysia, and everywhere they have received their national features. Kites were made in the form of fish, birds, butterflies and even ferocious warriors. Already in the early Middle Ages, kites appeared in Europe.
Even in ancient times, these flying structures were used in practice: they were used as a means of communication, transmitting signals over short distances, for espionage and intimidation of the enemy, for measuring distances and heights.
They are so different
The simplest in structure is a single- plane kite. It does not have great lifting power and stability, but it is very easy to manage. With it, and you need to start the development of the oldest aircraft. It consists of a frame covered with canvas (sail), a bridle connecting the frame with a handrail - the very twine with which the snake is held and controlled. The most important part of this design is the tail. This is not only an ornament made of ribbons and bows, it gives the snake stability, corrects its flight. An indispensable attribute of all kites is the coil on which the rail is wound.
The Monk design is quite popular with novice kitemenauts - a frameless kite made of thick paper. The sheet is folded according to a certain pattern, after which it takes the form of a hood, to which all the attributes of a plane kite are attached: a bridle, a handrail, a tail.
Curved kites are called so because they have a bend in the design that makes them more stable. These snakes don't need a tail. Box snakes consist of individual cells in the form of tetrahedra or parallelepipeds. These structures are distinguished by great stability and lifting power. Composite kites are assembled from a group of kites and form a single flexible system.
