Title: Kite construction

Abstract: A highly aerodynamically stable kite having a flexible statically indeterminate face which during flight forms a curvilinear airfoil that is maintained in the center and top edges by rigid linear stiffeners removably retained in a novel nosepiece. The nosepiece is a rigid three dimensional structure formed by folding a thin flat pattern. A novel tail member aids kite stability by providing plural aerodynamically rotatable elements spacedly depending beneath the kite upon a common flexible line.
