ABSTRACT:
A kite comprising a central section and a pair of lateral sections of foam-like material, each section containing on its upper surface a pattern of cone-like protrusions with matching cutouts in each protrusion. The side sections are bent inwardly, forming equal internal angles with the upper surface of the central section. A movable flange is provided along the peripheral edge of each of the lateral sections. Strings are attached to the undersurface of the kite through holes in the flanges, and a tether is attached to these strings. The kite is further reinforced by string fastened to the tops and sides of the corner cones. Two tails are attached to provide stability.
