  1. Tetrahedron Kites By Anthony Lewis

  2. So far Day 2 Monday 7/23/2012 So far we made one of the four pyramids of our Tetrahedron kite. We are using 4 big and small string. 45 inches and 25 inches. We are also using 24 straws and colored tissue. And we are use tape and a stick of glue as a bond. We use 6 straws, 1 long string, and 1 short string for 1 pyramid at a time. Next, we taped and glue the colored tissue on the pyramid. Finally we tape all the pyramids together in the same direction.

  3. What I like to learn I would like to learn; How to build and fly a kite. How well my kite will fly

  4. Basics of flight There are four basics of flight: Physics: thrust, lift, drag, and gravity. Movement Vectors: pitch, yaw, roll, and bank. Control surfaces: elevators, rudders, ailerons, flaps, and compressibility. Basic Flight Maneuvers: takeoff, climbing, descending/diving, banked turns, landing, stalls, and spins.

  5. Different types of kites Through research there is 11 different kites I found. Inflatables Parafoils Deltas Rokkakus Cellulars Diamonds Sleds Novelty Tradtional Stunt Traction

  6. Comparisons/differences A bird and a kite can take flight. However birds can fly and glide but, kites only glide. Flying squirrels also glide like kites. Some species of lizards can glide too, such as the draco lizard.
