The lifting force of all kites is produced by deflecting the air downward, the resulting change in momentum producing an upward force. The reason for this is that the air traveling over the top of the curved surface of the kite is going faster than the air passing underneath. Fast-moving air creates less pressure; this means there is more pressure underneath the kite, and this helps to force it upwards.
Think of the kite as a sail boat, catching the air. The air tries to push the kite along like the sail boat. But the string the flyer holds keeps the kite tethered. Since the kite cannot go with the wind flow and the kite is tilted so that the air is deflected downward, the kite has no where to go but up.
Both the lift-to-drag ratio and the stability of the kite are functions of the length of cable. The more cable released, the more drag created.

How does Bernoulli's Principle apply to kites?
Bernoulli's Principle states that as the speed of a fluid increases, its pressure decreases. In the case of kites, the air moving over the curved surface of the kite creates lower pressure above the kite compared to below it. This pressure difference generates lift, allowing the kite to fly.
Why do kites need tails?
Kites need tails because without them they will not be able to stay stable or fly properly. If it didn't have a tail it would just go crashing down to the ground.
How do kites fly?
the wind in the sky blow the kite therefore helps the kite go up into the air so the kite can flyA kite flys by the wind blowing beneath the kite wich makes the kite go higher
How is an airplane similar to a paper kite?
Both airplanes and paper kites rely on aerodynamics to fly through the air. They both have wings that generate lift to keep them airborne. Additionally, both can be controlled by changing the angle of their surfaces to steer and maneuver.
