I am not talking about crazy shaped kites, but the basic/classic one.
In: Physics
The tail is not actually necessary – it’s just pretty to look at and can help estimate the air flow around your kite. Kites are basically just big sheets of paper/fabric that catch wind. If you grab a normal piece of paper from your desk and blow at it you’ll see it wants to move with the air flowing around it. The same happens with kites but on a bigger scale. We then create a skeleton for it to help it keep it’s shape and attach a string in the middle(ish) to help it stay in place and balanced.
