-==Restructuring of introduction==
+{{WikiProject Aviation}}
+}}
-The previous introduction was unencyclopedic in style.  It should be remembered that encyclopedia articles are meant to be ''dispassionate''.  The purpose is to describe a subject, and not to advocate it.
-I have restructured the introduction, whilst retaining the majority of the content.  I have omitted some content for the following reasons:
- Indoor wind-tunnel testing of kites have occurred for decades.
-This is off-topic.  There is a big difference between a kite which is <i>designed</i> to be flown indoors, and a conventional kite which has been brought inside for testing,
- The increasingly popular sport of indoor kiting is getting strong attention in the kiting world.
-This is unsupported.  To restore this sentence, please provide citations.
- Free-flight kites are also set aflight indoors.
-This is repeated in the next section.
- ...running a kite around a gymnasium gives motivation to keep running.
-This is subjective, rather than a hard fact.
-==Removal of "notable examples" section.
-I have removed the notable examples section.  This is for two reasons:
-* The Rogallo wing references are off-topic.  The tests were performed with an improvised wind-tunnel.  As above, there is a big difference between a kite which is <i>designed</i> to be flown indoors, and a conventional kite which has been brought inside for testing.
-* Indoor hang-gliding is off-topic.  There is a big difference between a free-flying aircraft and a kite (even if the airfoils are similar).
