Kite Research  Research Most Common Designs  Most Important: Application, Altitude, Stability  Least Important: Aesthetics

Brainstorming Ideas Application or Task: Successfully fly with one or more signal lights attached.

Prototype Phase  Paper prototype was not sufficient  Not very stable

Final Product  Plans A-E were not sufficient  We decided a different idea…

Flying and Testing  When flying, the kite was successful at times.  However, the kite still lacked stability  Ran line to add stability

Final Remarks  Pros of Design: Flew, Accomplished Task of Signal  Cons: Would have liked to have more stability  Block Flow-  http://www.personal.psu.edu/zts5064/Zachar y/teamwebsite.htm
