There are a few flat kites in the market earlier, so why is the Monsoonzs design platform more superior?
There are namely a few flat kites and some of them came in very early. The difference between the the 2 design platforms is that the earlier flat kites were trying to achieve its flatness and efficiency “mechanically” by having bridles forcing the shape of the LE and holding the structures on the struts. They were more like C-Kites being forced to be flat. With such “mechanical” designs, the kites are no longer efficient and it causes a lot of drag. Newer flat kites were achieving this through aerodynamics. The Monsoonz Ultra Flat Light Wind is a new design platform altogether but carries the bow design concept. With its new straight struts and infill panels, swept-back wings and a concave TE, the flatness achieved is more on aerodynamics rather than mechanical. At the moment, it is more efficient than most kites. “Why ride a 13M kite when you can ride on a 10M”? Does this question answer the first question? Smaller kites are definitely cheaper. More over, smaller kites are faster than
