Question

How are kites made?
thanks

Answer 1

A kite is an unpowered, heavier-than-air flying device held to the earth by a line. The kite flies because wind resistance causes the air pressure under the kite to be greater than the air pressure above the kite, making the kite rise. The word kite is derived from the name of a type of bird belonging to the hawk family which is know for its graceful, soaring flight. A kite consists of three basic parts: the body, the line, and the bridle that attaches the line to the body. To enable the user to control the movement of the kite, the bridle must be attached to the body of the kite in at least two places. Homemade kites are usually made of wood and paper or cloth. Homemade para-wing kites are usually made of Mylar, a trade-name for thin sheets of a plastic known as polyethylene terephthalate. This material is extremely strong and very light. The raw materials used to make polyethylene terephthalate are the chemical compounds glycol and dimethyl terephthalate. Commercial kites are generally made of a strong, light plastic such as nylon. Nylon is the common name for certain types of plastic known as polyamides. Polyamides can be made from a variety of chemical compounds. Nylon-6,6 is the most common form of nylon and is made from the chemical compounds adipic acid and hexamthylenediamine. Another common type of nylon is known as nylon-6 and is made from the chemical compound caprolactam. The lines attached to the body of the kite are usually made of nylon or cotton. For some large kites, the line is held on a fishing reel, which is made of steel. If this is helpful please brainlist..
