Abstract
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.
Claims4
An inflatable kite including a main tube that defines a leading edge shape of the kite and a sub-tube that extends in a direction crossing a direction of extension of the main tube, the inflatable kite comprising:
- 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, wherein
- the sub-tube cut by one plane that crosses in a direction of extension of the sub-tube has a maximal cross-sectional area on a cross section of the first air chamber, and
- the pressure regulator regulates the pressure of the first air chamber and the pressure of the second air chamber such that the pressure of the first air chamber is lower than the pressure of the second air chamber in a steady flight of the inflatable kite.
