The heili-kite is an inflatable-kite having an inflated keel, it also has a uni-body structure consisting of the inflated keel, inflated reinforced pleated wing, inflated nose, and the inflated curved downward tail. The heili-kite is fabricated of a mylar material that is layered over each other in layers or a single layer being over laped multypul times and sealed together to form an air tight pocket with pleats that form the skelatal structure, which when inflated with air, helium, or a lighter than air substance, forms an arodynamic (airfoil) streamlined, stealth like (triangular) shaped kite, that does not need wind to rise in an upward direction to get the sensation of flying a kite, is easy to opperate with one hand control line and can be opperated outdoors and/or indoors for children, teen, and adults alike, and for small children and/or ederly people that have limited knolewge of kite flying, limited mobility, or may be comfined indoors. The heili-kite is a used for sports, pleasure, recreation, work or warning zone, or a signal for help.
The heili-kite, having a cambered streamlined airfoil inflated keel, filled with helium, air, or lighter than air gas, with a streamlined cambered airfoil inflated keel, nose, wing and tail uni-body, a cambered curved downward tail, a triangular stealth like shape, reinforced pleated wing, with the trailing edge of wing shaped like the trailing edge of a bats wing comprising:
The measurements of the preferred embodiments of the present invention when inflated are from nose of said kite to tip of wing measures 32 inches in wing length, the overall length of said kite from nose to tail is 26 inches, with a 32 inch wing span. On the bottom surface of the kite toward the nose section is The widest portion of the keel which is the point of integration of the uni-body keel, wing, and nose is 15 inches in width and a rear bottom width measurement of the keel at the tail section is 9 inches and slims out into a streamlined trailing edge, with a keel depth measurement from top surface of kite to lowest portion of keel of 12 inches, the length of the pleats that are in the wing and form the shape of the heili-kite, range in measurements from 1 inch, to tip of the nose of the said kite, and the width can range from a narrow hair line to 24 inches. The length of the pleats that are in the wing and that form the shape of the preferred embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 thru 6 of the said invention are measurements of 7 inches in length and ¼ inch in width.
The third embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 9, wherein the form of the preferred embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 thru 6 of the inflated keel kite has no pleats.
