In this book some new concepts were defined, and some new formulas were recommended. The Fluid Dynamics Theory for a kite has been created; the flying principle of a kite has been found and the kite flying stability was analyzed qualitatively. This book gives two calculative methods which can be used as theoretical foundation of designing and producing a kite, and the methods are the analytic one of characteristic curve and the analytic one of limit mass area ratio. This book provides abundant data which help readers to calculate a kite. If the analytic method for limit mass area ratio is applied, readers may only focus on the basic concepts in this book and are not necessary to concentrate on the illation of the formula.
