A theoretical lesson about the aerodynamics of a kite. All kitsurfers should read this for a better understanding of what creates a kite spower and performances.
Once for all let's sort out all the questions you might have about kites and aerodynamics. What the hell is angle of attack, what is drag, why is a thin profile faster than a thick profile? What's the benefit with a curved canopy? What is aspect ratio? Read this post to the bottom and you'll get a much better understanding about kites and aerodynamics in general!
Why do kites fly and pull?
The reason to why we can possibly kitesurf is thanks to the power generated in the kite, so how is this power “created”?
