ABSTRACT:
A quad-line kite having a sail shape consisting of a center rectangle or square and two outside pentagonal sections, one horizontal and at least two vertical spars, three strips of vent screen along the spars, and four control lines each attached to one quadrant of the kite, such that the kite can be flown at virtually equal speed in any direction or rotated about its axis in either direction, due to the unique balance of sail warping and air spilling capability, and also having a high sail area to weight ratio, enabling it to be flown in light as well as strong winds.
