Overview

The triangular Delta Wing flies by the same principles as the space shuttle. Delta Wing Two takes an airfoil shape with curved upper and lower surfaces.

Overview

The great thing about these kites, most no larger than an 8 1/2" X 11" piece of paper, is that they are simple to make and simple to operate, yet they show off an exciting variety of aerodynamic capacities. The triangular Delta Wing flies by the same principles as the space shuttle. Delta Wing Two takes an airfoil shape with curved upper and lower surfaces. Fifteen more kites exhibit the movement styles of leaves, birds, fish, butterflies, frogs, bats, and even a flying pterosaur. Decorate them with felt tip pens, and stencil the patterns that feature stylized versions of traditional Chinese designs. 96 pages (all in color), 8 1/2 X 10.

Editorial Reviews

School Library Journal
Gr 6 Up--A how-to book that opens with a description of the artistry and usage of kites in the Orient and a look at the aerodynamic principles involved in kite flying. This step-by-step guide to creating 17 kites adorned with symbolic images such as the sun and a phoenix supplies a grid to help crafters decorate each piece before making the necessary measurements and folds. While there is a progression in the difficulty and intricacy of the patterns, they all assume dexterity with folding and a knowledge of mathematics, including use of a compass. The instructions are sometimes confusing because there are numbered steps in addition to directions within each diagram. Emery J. Kelly's Kites on the Wind (Lerner, 1991) shows a wider variety of types of kites, while Schmidt shows more of a selection of patterns and decoration. An attractive addition.--Irene Symons, Queens Borough Public Library, NY
