Looks like it would be quite easy to stack and control. Not a very fast shape but decent for application where you need position stable… Like in a lifting network
I havent thought about it, but we have here a working inflatable dihedral wing, commercial off the shelf. I would not be surprised if it could be bridled to work as a steerable kite, and perhaps also for AWE prototyping.
Dihedral is important while looping, nearly eliminating roll control needs.
There was an AWE group working on similar kites. This new sport may accelerate the evolution
