WHAT DOES POWER KITE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

power kite

Power kite

A power kite or traction kite is a large kite designed to provide significant pull to the user. They come in three main forms: foils, leading edge inflatables and supported leading edge. There are also rigid-framed kites and soft single skin kites. There are several different control systems used with these kites which have two to five lines and a bar or handles. Most foil kites are made for use on land as they are "opened celled" so air flows in and out easily; this can be used as a safety feature to depower the kite. There are a few exceptions for this with new foils that use closed cell technology; they float on the water while you relaunch. Power kites are generally used in conjunction with a vehicle or board, such as in: ▪ kitesurfing on a kiteboard ▪ kite buggying on a purpose-built 3-wheeled cart ▪ kite jumping, using a power kite for jumping above the ground ▪ kite landboarding on an all-terrain/mountain/land board ▪ kite skating on all-terrain roller...
