Very thin race kite
Sky Country, of Kharkov Ukraine, announced they have designed a race kite with highest aspect ratio kite ever available. They claim the new kites
sets a new record with an aspect ratio of 7. The kite will be available "at the start of next season or the end of this" in 7, 8.5 and 10m sizes.
See http://sky-country.com/news/?action=novelty&id=9&pag... for photos of the new kite.
Is it possible to design for strength, if the designer doesn't really understand what strength is?

I wonder how stable the kites are with an aspect ratio so high. Don't you loose stability the higher you go.

It looks to have about 60 really narrow cells.. Crazy, I bet it's fast if it has good cross ventilation.
