Self-Flying Kite
A system including a spine portion that is configured to run from top end and a bottom end of a kite. A cross-spar segment having a first end portion and a second end portion that runs from wingtip to wingtip of said kite. A cover part, in which the cover part comprise a fabric made of at least one of a nylon and a cloth. A tail section. A first flight operative system disposed on one end portion of the cross-spar segment. A second flight operative system disposed on another end portion of the cross-spar segment.

Inflatable kite
An inflatable kite includes a main tube and a sub tube. The inflatable kite includes: a first air chamber, which constitutes the sub tube; a second air chamber, which constitutes the sub tube and which is disposed at a position that is farther from the main tube than from the first air chamber in the sub tube; and a pressure regulator configured to adjust a pressure of the first air chamber and a pressure of the second air chamber. The sub tube cut by one plane that crosses in the direction of extension of the sub tube has a maximal cross-sectional area on a cross section of the first air chamber. The pressure regulator regulates the pressure of the first air chamber to be lower than the pressure of the second air chamber in a steady flight of the inflatable kite.
Folding Kite and Launcher System
A toy system having a folding kite projectile and a launcher that launches the kite projectile into flight. The kite projectile is launched in a folded configuration. Once in flight, the kite projectile expands into an open configuration. The kite is biased into its open configuration by an internal spring bias. The kite projectile is manually manipulated into its folded configuration prior to launching. The transformation of the kite projectile its folded configuration to its open configuration is delayed by an internal deployment control that opposes the spring bias and delays movement of kite projectile components that expand after launch. In this manner, the kite projectile cn fly in its folded condition for a period before it opens. This maximizes the distance the kite projectile travels by the force of the launcher.

REALISTIC FLYING FISH LURE
A realistic flying fish lure comprising a body portion and one or more detachable wings. The one or more wings are configured to be removeably engaged with the body portion, and when the one or more wings are attached to the body portion, the realistic flying fish lure is configured to resemble a California Flying Fish that is gliding above water.
LIGHT KITE
The invention discloses a light kite comprising a body. The body includes a wing, a supporting member, and a tying place, the supporting member is arranged on the wing and integrally formed with the wing, the body of the kite is made of a blister material or a material capable of being embossed or indented, and the supporting member is made by blistering or embossing or indenting on the wing, so that the supporting member is integrally formed with the wing and maintains a shape of the body. The kite is made of a blister material or composite paper, the durability and plasticity are high; moreover, the support member is made by means of plastic package, some existing kite production processes can be omitted, and the local production in large scale can be achieved.
Controllable kite configuration
Embodiments may provide a kite system that incorporates a highly efficient lifting surface combined with aerodynamic control surfaces while using only a single tether. Such a kite having a lifting surface combined with aerodynamic control surfaces while using only a single tether may be referred to as a “controllable kite”. Embodiments may include a controllable kite configured to operate aloft connected to only a single tether, the kite including a lifting surface that is heavier-than-air, an aerodynamic surface control system configured to adjust an attitude of the lifting surface while the kite is aloft, and an attachment point connecting the single tether to the kite.

Collapsible kite frame and method of collapsing a kite for shipping and storage
Disclosed is a collapsible kite frame that permits at kite to be fit into an economical shipping box, thereby significantly decreasing the costs associated with shipping. The kite frame utilizes a double revolute joint to connect the support members of a kite frame. A support sheath locks the joint and support members in a straight alignment, but, when removed, the support members are free to rotate and move inward, towards each other, thereby shortening the combined length span of the support members when in a straight alignment.
