What is the mechanism behind flying a kite?
assistant
The mechanism behind flying a kite is the use of a combination of forces acting on the kite, including lift from the wind, drag from the air, and weight from the kite itself. These forces must be balanced in order for the kite to fly. To do this, the kite's strings must be held and adjusted so that the kite can maintain its balance in the air. Adjusting the tension of the strings can also help to achieve the desired flight path or trick maneuvers.
