Foil kites are soft kites based on the design of the parafoil. They consist of a number of cells running fore to aft, some or all of which are open at the front to allow air to inflate the kite so it takes on an aerofoil section. Due to the amount of power that these kites can generate, they can be used for a variety of different activities including kitesurfing, kite landboarding, snowkiting, kite buggying, kite-energy systems or airborne wind energy, and recreational kiting.

  • Foildraken är en typ av kraftdrake som saknar uppspänd ram, och håller sin form med hjälp av luftflödet. Den består av ett antal tygceller som är öppna i fronten så att luft kan strömma in och "blåsa upp" draken. Foildrakar kan ha många olika linsystem med 2, 3 eller 4 linor, och styrs oftast med någon form av handtag eller bom. Vissa foildrakar kan användas på vatten, t.ex. för kitesurf. Då är vanligtvis många av cellerna slutna, och de få som är öppna är försedda med ventiler som håller luften inne och vattnet ute. Öppningar i mellanväggarna gör att hela draken kan blåsas upp. (sv)

  • Foil kites are soft kites based on the design of the parafoil. They consist of a number of cells running fore to aft, some or all of which are open at the front to allow air to inflate the kite so it takes on an aerofoil section. Due to the amount of power that these kites can generate, they can be used for a variety of different activities including kitesurfing, kite landboarding, snowkiting, kite buggying, kite-energy systems or airborne wind energy, and recreational kiting. Foil kites are flown with various line set-ups that includes 2-, 3- and 4-line systems; 2-line systems consisting of rings, wrist bands or bar compared to depowerable 4-line systems using a bar or handles. (See also: kite control systems) In order to make them suitable for use on water some foils have limited air inlets in the centre of the leading edge, with valves to keep the air in and (hopefully) the water out. Internal holes in the cell sides allow the whole kite to inflate. These kites are naturally slower to inflate than an open-fronted foil. Foils are the most efficient of the power kites. The aerofoil section means that they can still provide significant lift when parked overhead, unlike leading edge inflatable kites. (en)

  • I foil kite sono aquiloni che non presentano una struttura rigida. Sono formati da un numero variabile di celle che vanno dal lato anteriore (bordo d'attacco) al lato posteriore (bordo d'uscita). Le celle (o cassoni) hanno dei fori che permettono all'aria di entrare e gonfiare l'aquilone, conferendo così a quest'ultimo una forma adatta al volo. In base al tipo di celle, si possono distinguere 2 tipi di kite foil: quelli a celle aperte e quelli a celle chiuse. Nei primi tutti i cassoni sono aperti sul lato anteriore per permettere all'aria di entrare e gonfiare la struttura mentre nei secondi solo alcuni cassoni risultano essere aperti (solitamente quelli in posizione più centrale sul bordo d'attacco). Questi aquiloni sono in grado di generare molta trazione e questo fa sì che vengano usati in attività come kitesurfing, snowkiting e kite buggying/landboarding. Mentre per lo snowkiting e per kite buggying/landboarding si possono usare tutti i tipi di aquiloni foil, per il kiteboarding bisogna che il kite sia del tipo a celle chiuse, questo perché in caso di caduta in acqua dell'ala un foil a celle aperte tenderebbe a lasciare entrare acqua nella struttura della vela appesantendola e rendendo così difficile se non impossibile il rilancio. Il processo di gonfiaggio attuato dal vento risulta essere ovviamente più lento per un kite a celle chiuse in quanto l'aria può entrare solo da un numero limitato di "bocche" e si deve diffondere in tutta la struttura tramite delle apposite aperture situate sulle membrane che separano un cassone da un altro.
