Talk:Indoor kite
Restructuring of introduction
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 designed 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 designed 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).
