A kite is traditionally a tethered heavier-than-air craft with wing surfaces that react against the air to create lift and drag. A kite consists of wings, tethers, pulleys, and anchors. Kites often have a bridle to guide the face of the kite at the correct angle so the wind can lift it. A kite's wing also may be so designed so a bridle is not needed; when kiting a sailplane for launch, the tether meets the wing at a single point. A kite may have fixed or moving anchors. Untraditionally in technical kiting, a kite consists of tether-set-coupled wing sets; even in technical kiting, though, a wing in the system is still often called the kite.

The Sled Kite

Small 'soft' Sled

In terms of popularity and sheer numbers, the Sled kite is up there in the Big Three - Sleds, Diamonds and Deltas.

I've never seen a truly large Sled of the 2-stick variety, but have often seen the crowds here and there. Usually with inflatable spars, as in the photo. In parks, down at the beach, even at Kite Festivals.

The Diamond Kite

These types of kites are everywhere, It seems every kid's show on T.V. and every second children's book has an image or 3 of this extremely well-known kite shape. It seems that, in the West at least, the word 'kite' is almost synonymous with the shape 'diamond'.

The Kite Barn Door

With so many visitors from the U.S. passing through this site, it's appropriate to include a design that apparently originated in that country. The 3-spar Barn Door does not make it into my top 3 types of kites. However, a little browsing around the Web reveals that a number of keen kite people take pride in making and flying kites.

The Delta Kite

A mass-produced Delta

Number 3 of The Big Three! Of all the different types of kites, the Delta kite is the most commonly recommended to beginners by shops and festival commentators, for good reason.
