e/Kite types

Information
has gloss	eng: Various types of kites exist, depending on such features as materials, shape, use, or skill required to operate. A modified parachute that has a positive lift/drag ratio is a kite. A tethered body that gains a positive lift/drag ratio upon being towed in some media is a kite. Kites have a wing body and a kite line; the kite line is moored to a fixed or moving body which could even be the kite line itself; the moving body could be a falling payload or a human pilot, as in some hang gliders. Kites of very low stable lift/drag ratio are only rarely treated as kites, but rather as streamers and flags. Kites may fly in air, water or other media. A deflection off the direction of the ambient stream obtains because of the shape of the kite's wing. New types of kites continue to be invented and designed.
