While on my way back from Colorado I found an interesting article in Scientific American.
www.sciam.com/article.cfm?articleID=00037F4E-253D-13A8-9E4D83414B7F0101
I started thinking it won't be long before our kites become inflatable dual surface airfoils. With the flatter design of bow kites were moving in that direction.

Cool article, imagine if we had all those eggheads working on making us better kites instead of worrying about silly stuff like forest fires. Wink
