Various kites are described which can be joined together in any of a
variety of larger arrays. Each kite includes a generally tubular integral
body having two opposing open longitudinal ends and formed by
longitudinally extending flexible planar walls, which intersect one
another at lateral edges to define a plurality of joints also extending
longitudinally through the body. A plurality of identical elongated spars
extending longitudinally between the two longitudinal ends of the body.
Each of the spars is more rigid and resilient than the kite body walls.
Each longitudinal end of each spar is coupled to the body proximal a
separate longitudinal joint end of the body. A central portion of each
spar between the longitudinal ends is spaced away from each joint
connected with either of the longitudinal ends of the spar. The spars are
joined to the fabric bodies by connectors which also permit the kites to
be connected together laterally or longitudinally, edge or side to edge or
side in linear, two or three dimension arrays.
