TECH PAPER: ORIGINALLY DESIGNED CELL KITES:

Originally created by Tony Ferrel as an AKA presentation in Muncie, Indiana, October of 1999.

Updated & slightly edited for kitebuilder.com on 11/15/00 by APF.

 

FOREWORD:

The paper as created for AKA turned out to be way, way to ambitious a presentation; and, quite frankly I did not do a very good job of presenting. However, the written down stuff, in my opinion, is very valid.

As I look back on the presentation, it occurs to me that it really should have been 3 separate topics.

  1. Originally Designed Cell Kites
  2. Fittings and How They Work
  3. Weight to Lift Ratio’s

 

Therefore, I slightly edited the presentation to make sense, so that I could create three separate Tech Papers. A Trilogy, if you will. What follows is redefined as Part One: "Originally Designed Cell Kites". The AKA presentation in Muncie, edited and condensed for kitebuilder.com, part one of the Trilogy.
