About: Man-lifting kite

An Entity of Type: aircraft, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

A man-lifting kite is a kite designed to lift a person from the ground. Historically, man-lifting kites have been used chiefly for reconnaissance. Interest in their development declined with the advent of powered flight at the beginning of the 20th century. Recreational man-lifting kites gradually gained popularity through the latter half of the 20th century, branching into multiple sports. In the 21st century man-lifting kites are often used in kitesurfing, where brief launches can be followed by safe water landings and parasailing, where kites are towed behind a vehicle.

  • Ένας χαρταετός ανύψωσης ανθρώπων είναι χαρταετός ο οποίος έχει σχεδιαστεί για την ανύψωση ανθρώπων από το έδαφος. Ιστορικά, αυτού του είδους οι χαρταετοί έχουν χρησιμοποιηθεί για στρατιωτική αναγνώριση και ψυχαγωγία. Το ενδιαφέρον για την εξέλιξή τους μειώθηκε με την πρόοδο της μηχανοκίνητης πτήσης στις αρχές του 20ού αιώνα. (el)
