How to Fly Kites
Kites take to the air, like airplanes, on the aerodynamic theory of wind stress against a heavier-than-air item. The motor and propeller of the airplane generate wind stress as they move the aircraft by means of the air. When the pressure is robust adequate to conquer gravity, the plane is pressed up and permitted to stay in the air. The similar consequence of wind pressure is developed by the kite flyer as he sprints across an open field. As the kite moves in opposition to the wind, the string ideas the face of the kite onward. The wind shoves up on this tipped face and raises the kite, just as a wedge pressed beneath an object lifts it up. [ The Secret & The Law of Attraction]
