kite

A kite is a lightweight, flat device made of fabric or paper stretched over a frame, designed to fly in the air when a string is held. When you throw or pull the string, the kite's shape and the wind’s force generate lift, allowing it to soar overhead. The shape and tail help stabilize the kite, preventing it from spinning or falling. Kites are often flown outdoors for recreation, using wind to keep them airborne. They work based on principles of aerodynamics, similar to airplanes, but are simpler and smaller in scale.
