Kites

Prediction
The kite string keeps the kite at an angle of attack to the wind.
The wind hits the kite and flows down--the path of least resistance. The air exerts an equal and opposite upward force on the kite and the kite rises due to this lift.
In other words,the kite blocks the wind, which deflects the wind downward. The kite pushes down on the air.The air pushes back up on the kite and lifts it into the sky.That's how kites fly.


What actually happened
I went the opposite direction of the wind. My kite went alittle bit high. The thing that went wrong was that my kite didn't fly to high.


What I would change
What I would change on my Kite is grab it at a better angel and also i would make my kite alittle bit thicker.
