Tetrahedron KitesBy: Destiny Quimbly

Overview Of ProjectI Have Been Assigned A Project At The S.T.E.M Program And It Was To Make A Tetrahedron Kite. These Are Some Of The Materials I Will Need To Use to Make The Kite. String Tissue paper Tape Straws

What I Want To Learn What Is The Purpose Of A Tetrahedron Kite?

What Materials Will I Need?

How Will It Become 3-D?

Basics Of Flight The miracle of flight exists because man has the technology

to oppose natural forces that keep all objects on the ground. Four forces affect an aircraft — two assist flight (thrust and lift), and two resist flight (gravity and drag). The important thing to note here is that when an aircraft is flying straight and level, all four of these forces are balanced, or in equilibrium.

Different Types Of Kites Diamond Kites: The most basic type of kite is the diamond shape kite. It was

made famous by Ben Franklin during his experiment testing the properties of electricity

Box Kite: The box kite is shaped like a large rectangle with material wrapped around the top and bottom. It was invented by Australia's Lawrence Hargrave in 1893 while he was trying to create a manned flying machine

Winged Box Kite: The winged box kite shares the same basic shape as the box kite, though it includes the addition of two triangular pieces added to the long side of the box frame

Sled Kite: A sled kite is shaped similarly to the popular winter vehicle made to travel over ice and snow

Delta Kite: The delta kite is a triangular kite, similar to the diamond. The triangle frame is covered with material and a line is attached for flying.

Power Kite: Power kites are much larger than traditional kites and are designed to provide precision and power in order to lift large objects, including humans.

Changes I Would Make.I don’t think I would really make any changes because my kite was AWSOME! I do think we should’ve went to fly it on a WINDY day.

Did You Know ?!?!?!? Kites are raptors with long wings and weak legs that spend

most of the time soaring. Most feed mainly on carrion but some take various amounts of live prey. They are birds of prey which, along with hawks and eagles, are from the family Accipitridae.
