Title: Keeled kite construction

Abstract: A construction for a keeled kite wherein the keel is a flexible tubular member fixed to the underside of a kite canopy and is open at its leading end and closed at its trailing end so as to be inflated by the oncoming wind to stabilize the kite under varying wind conditions which would cause kites having conventional flat keels to power loop or crash, either because of excessive wind velocity or because of low wind velocity.
