How kites fly
The lifting force of all kites is produced by deflecting the air downward, the resulting change in momentum producing an upward force. The reason for this is that the air traveling over the top of the curved surface of the kites is going faster than the air passing less underneath. Fast,moving air creates less pressure underneath the kites, and this helps to force it upward.
