How does the type of material affect the ability of a kite to fly?

The material used has to be very light, as it is stretched over the "stand" of the kite. It then increases the surface area of the kite, allowing it to achieve flight by being picked up by the wind. By increasing horizontal speed(wind/running), it requires less energy for it to lift off, the same principle applies to airplanes. So the lighter material it is, the easier it will be for the kite to take off.

The type of material affects the weight, flexibility, and aerodynamics of the kite. Lightweight and flexible materials like ripstop nylon or polyester are typically preferred for kites as they allow for easier maneuverability and better lift. Heavier or less aerodynamic materials may hinder the kite's ability to catch wind and stay airborne.
