THE FLIGHT OF THE KITE

China is usually considered the place of origin of the kite. A CHINESE INVENTION

WHERE DID IT ALL BEGIN? A favorite theory is that a Chinese farmer whose hat blew off in the wind was so fascinated to see that his hat could “fly” that he later attached a string to it and launched it as a kite.

MAKING EARLY KITES Silk, which was produced in China as early as 2600 B.C. may have been an important material from which early kites were made, as most likely was paper. Broad leaves and frames of sticks or bamboo strips may also have provided the makings for early kites.

KITES USED AS A MILITARY TOOL  In 206 B.C., General Han Hsin and a small band of soldiers camped outside the walls of an enemy palace.  They had to conquer the well-fortified palace with only a few soldiers.  Han Hsin built a kite and sent it aloft until it flew over the palace walls, the length of the kite line helped mark the length of how long a tunnel they would have to dig to get inside the palace walls and take the enemy by surprise.  It worked! They won the battle!

KITES AS MILITARY TOOLS An early Chinese legend tells of a general who attached lanterns and noisemakers to kites and flew them at night over his enemy’s camp. The enemy was so frightened by the mysterious “spirits of the night” that it fled without a battle. For many centuries, manlifting kites were used in Asia to send up spies to observe the enemy.

BENJAMIN FRANKLIN In the United States, Benjamin Franklin is known for his experiments with electricity while flying a kite during a thunderstorm. Throughout history, kites have been used in many innovative ways:

WEATHER WATCHING  In 1749, in Scotland, Thomas Melville and Alexander Wilson attached thermometers to kites for meteorological purposes.  Until 1933, in the United States, the Weather Bureau operated kite stations to obtain data on temperature, humidity, wind velocity, and altitude.

KITES FOR TOWING In 1826, George Pocock, an English schoolmaster, developed a method of pulling a carriage with kites. The carriage could travel at speeds of up to twenty miles an hour.
