Want to build a kite in less than 5 minutes? This kite is basically a paper airplane on a string. It’s fast and easy to make. The best thing about this kite is that it needs next to no wind to get airborne, so you can simply run with it to get it up in the sky.
Why does this kite fly? This kite soars because you’re holding the kite at the correct angle to the wind. The wind flows both over and under the kite, and with this shape, the air flying over the kite is traveling a bit faster than the wind under the kite. Recall that higher speeds mean lower pressure. The underside of the kite now has a relatively higher pressure, thus pushing the kite upwards into the sky.
