Day 2 Monday 7/23/2012So far we made one of the four pyramids of our Tetrahedron kite. We are using 4 big and small string. 45 inches and 25 inches. We are also using 24 straws and colored tissue. And we are use tape and a stick of glue as a bond. We use 6 straws, 1 long string, and 1 short string for 1 pyramid at a time and we taped and glue the colored tissue on the pyramid. Day 3 Tuesday 7/24/2012Finally we tape all the pyramids together in the same direction.

So far

I would like to learn; How to build and fly a kite. How well my kite will fly

What I like to learn

Page 4: Tetrahedron Kites

There are four basics of flight: Physics: thrust, lift, drag, and gravity. Movement Vectors: pitch, yaw, roll, and

bank. Control surfaces: elevators, rudders,

ailerons, flaps, and compressibility. Basic Flight Maneuvers: takeoff, climbing,

descending/diving, banked turns, landing, stalls, and spins.

Basics of flight

Through research there is 11 different kites I found.1. Inflatables2. Parafoils3. Deltas4. Rokkakus5. Cellulars6. Diamonds7. Sleds8. Novelty9. Traditional10.Stunt11.Traction

Different types of kites

A bird and a kite can take flight. However birds can fly and glide but, kites

only glide. Flying squirrels also glide like kites. Some species of lizards can glide too, such

as the draco lizard.
