  1. Team #2 Kite Project PresentationLondon Beefeaters Arjun Kumar, John Behler, Jack Scott, Jake Glotzbach

  2. Team Members + roles • Jack Scott- drafter, co-builder • John Behler- researcher, project coordinator • Arjun Kumar- kite designer, flight coordinator • Jake Glotzbach- builder, co-designer

  3. Overview • We will present to you the process of kite building • How we decided on a kite to build • The steps that went in to designing and building the kite

  4. Preliminary research • Wanted a kite for recreational use, ease of flying • Needed to be constructed with given materials • Light, yet rugged and large • Sustain flight • Low wind=no problem • SAFE!

  5. Selection of suitable kite design

  6. decision • Decision was between dragon, delta, diamond, box kites • We used matrices regarding: use for a task, suitability for a task, resource management, technology feasible, cost, safety • Suitability and safety carried most weight as we would be flying around a crowd

  7. Delta it is • Delta kite best fit our expectations • We then began further research on delta kites • Drafted rough designs, determined final design • Followed this design roughly, but we made some changes http://www.idesignkites.com/content/ kitegallery/delta_kite_plan.html

  8. Prototype

  9. Our design

  10. Results

  11. Action shot

  12. Reflection • Kite flew well, assuming no wind • Generated life, was rugged • Did not break until multiple test trials • We can assume that it would maintain flight with more wind than we had • Nobody got hurt=safe

  13. Conslusion • problem was no wind • Solution is fly in more wind next time • Problem was stability, unbalanced • Solution make kite more symmetrical in aspect of weight • Proposal for best kite possible • Smaller for less weight= better low wind flight • More rugged front • Balanced laterally

  14. credits • http://www.idesignkites.com/content/kitegallery/delta_kite_plan.html • This is where we obtained our general plan
