ABSTRACT:
A hooded kite, which is an improvement over the conventional sled type kite, comprises a central panel, or canopy, of light-weight sheet material, generally in a rectangular shape. It has two long sides. A hood is provided which is generally made of the same material as the canopy, and is in a trapezoidal shape. The long edge is equal in length to, and is attached to the leading edge of the canopy. The shorter edge is less in length than the width of the central canopy at a distance back from the leading edge, corresponding to the width of the hood. The two short ends are tapered and are attached to the longitudinal edges of the canopy. The shorter base is not attached to the canopy, so that in flight there is a wedge of air space between the hood and the canopy.
