Potential energy, because of this a kite is not moving.
If the feather is moving, it has kinetic energy. If there is room beneath the feather for it to fall, it has potential energy due to gravity.
i probably wouldn't say the air had potential energy just that an inflated balloon has potential energy.
a boulder falling through the air still has some potential energy, but some of its potential energy has changed to kinetic energy...so it has both potential and kinetic!

The angle of attack is the angle that the kite flys into the air at. The angle depends on the wind seeded in the area you are flying the kite in.

It has kinetic energy because it is moving. Just because it is in the air doesn't mean that it can't have kinetic energy.

Its called wind resistance... The kite is designed so that all the wings point downward, so when the wind hits the wings, the wind gets pushed down, lifting the kite up.

The hot air has thermal energy, and when the balloon is up in the air, it also has gravitational potential energy.
The ball has the highest potential energy at its maximum height (15m in the air). At the beginning, the ball has only kinetic energy and no potential energy. But as the ball travels upward, kinetic energy is converted into potential energy. When the ball changes direction, there is no kinetic energy, as all of it is now potential energy. As the ball returns back down, potential energy is converted back into kinetic energy.
Compressed air does, but not air at normal atmospheric pressure
Throwing a ball into the air.
