| Chinese Kites - From Wikipedia | ||||||
| A kite is a tethered aircraft. The necessary lift that makes the kite wing fly is generated when air (or in some cases
water) flows over and under the kite's wing. Kites were used approximately 2,800 years ago in
China, where materials ideal for kite building were readily available: silk fabric for sail material, fine, high-tensile-strength silk for flying line, and resilient bamboo for a strong, lightweight framework. The kite was said to be the invention of the famous 5th century BC Chinese philosophers Mozi and Lu Ban. By at least 549 AD paper kites were being flown, as it was recorded in that year a paper kite was used as a message for a rescue mission.Ancient and medieval Chinese sources list other uses of kites for measuring distances, testing the wind, lifting men, signaling, and communication for military operations.
