Balloon kite

A balloon kite comprising:

• a) a plurality of sized sheets constructed of a gas impervious sheet material;
• b) each sized sheet having portions including edge portions that are bonded to other portions forming at least one gas-tight envelope establishing at least one fillable interior chamber;
• c) at least one sized sheet including extended portions, with the extended portions having at least one tab formed thereupon, each tab structured for folding over upon an adjacent portion of the extended portion forming a multi-layer attaching location which is arranged for fixing thereto an end of a bridle;
• d) means to enable filling of the interior chambers with a volume of either air or a lighter-than-air gas;
• e) at least one sized sheet structured with a coiled tail portion, with each tail portion being extendable when uncoiled and useful for stabilizing a balloon kite when in an aloft position;
• f) the sized sheets composing the balloon kite arranged to provide one or more aerodynamic surfaces when the kite balloon is fully inflated.

An inflatable balloon kite structured having at least one aerodynamic surface included for providing a lift to the balloon kite, when inflated, in the presence of a critical level of wind, the balloon kite comprising:

• a) at least one gas-tight envelope establishing at least one fillable interior chamber, each gas-tight envelope formed by bonding a plurality of sized sheets of a gas impervious sheet material, with each sized sheet having portions that are bonded to other sheet portions to form each gas-tight envelope;
• b) multi-layer reinforced extended portions formed by extending edge portions of at least one sized sheet, each extended portion including a plurality of folding tabs, wherein each folding tab is structured for folding over upon an adjacent portion of the extended portion;
• c) each extended portion thereby reinforced by having superposed, attached, overlaying tabs of folded sheet material portions, which are specifically structured for coupling thereto an end of a bridle;
• d) the balloon kite structured, when inflated, having one or more aerodynamic surfaces that will provide a lift and support the balloon kite in an aloft position when a wind is present at or above a critical level of wind.
