The Winged Box Kite

8. Winged Box Kite
We chose the winged box kite because it was most suitable in performing the task that we chose
Two long, straight spars running the full length of the kite, diagonal braces which make the whole structure rigid
Has tremendous lift and can fly at high altitudes
Traditional box kite with wings attached diagonally
More stable and more lifting power than traditional box kite

10. Task Task: Meteorology, testing atmospheric conditions
Carry various instruments
Measure variables such as
Wind speed, temperature, and atmospheric pressure

11. Why it was Ideal Very stable Can carry a considerable amount of weight
Simple design
Wings gave it more lift and carrying power
Requires minimal resources

13. Test 1 Without wings Sails alone were not enough to carry the kite
Tested starting on the ground and starting in the air
Without being able to carry itself, it would not be able to carry tools.

14. Test 2 Attached wings Able to fly successfully
Very stable during flight
Able to fly at high altitudes
Was able to carry 200 gram weight (simulate tool or instrument)

15. Successful Flight
