Zdravo!

 

Mogoče mal neumesno, ampak a mi lahko kdo pojasni razliko med BOW in C kajtom?

 

Hvala

 

No mal strica googla vprasaj, tole je bilo hitro najdeno pa je in ni komplet odgovor :-)

 

Q: Help me, what exactly is the difference between a "Bow-Kite", like the Cabrinha Crossbow and the Takoon Nova, a "Supported Leading Edge" (SLE) kite like the new Naish Shockwave and "Flat-kites" like the Globerider Sonic?

 

 

Nesler: The difference is mostly the terminology and the marketing behind it. As yet all "flat-kites" need a "supported leading edge" to achieve a "bow"-shaped wide open front tube. If you look from the front, a conventional kite is more C-shaped, the flat, bow or SLE kite is shallower and has a higher projected area. The support which keeps the arc of a flat kite wide and the front-tube fairly rigid is achieved by a more or less complicated bridle. Currently we are developing a hybrid kite which will not rely on a bridle to keep a flat shape and a high projected area.
