ABSTRACT:
A kite brake and a kite that uses a brake are disclosed. The brake includes a spring-loaded standoff that is biased to push a top surface of a sail of the kite away from a strut of the kite when an air pressure on the bottom surface of the sail is less than a bias force of the spring. The brake can be deployed by operation of the kite, or simply based on a removal of the air pressure.
