ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a captive guided kite (1) featuring a sail (2) whose shape is maintained by means of a rod that features at least one central spar (5) oriented from nose (3) to tail (4) of guided kite (1), and arranged in the central longitudinal region between two wing sides (6, 7), whereby attached to the underside of the kite are cords (13) to control guided kite (1). In order to improve the overall flying behaviour of the captive guided kite (1), and to achieve desired flight speed reduction, it is proposed that sail (2) have a shape, at least in the tail region and longitudinally with central spar (central spars) (5), that departs from the elongated shape towards the upper side of the kite (see FIG. 1a).
