He is commonly depicted as an adversary of Batman who uses kite-based weapons to commit crimes. The results were clearly better when the "pilot" was running. Kite Man (Charles 'Chuck' Brown) is a supervillain appearing in comic books published by DC Comics. Therefore, the glide ratio was 5/8. Even though the kite was able to fly a distance of 8 feet by just tossing it in the air, we realized that when trying to make it fly with line, it was really difficult because its gliding speed was greater than the "pilot's" walking speed. While we tried to fly it, when realized from a 5 foot height, the kite was able to glide a distance of 8 feet. Finally, the bag was attached to the frame using tape.Īfter the prototype was completed, our team attempted to fly the kite after attaching a piece of string in the cross section of the strip styrene tubes. The 4.0 mm rods were used for the parts connecting the middle rod and the outer rods, which were made out of the 2.5 mm diameter rods.

The group decided to hold off on ordering parts, until next week. A set of multiple pre-existing designs were examined in order to determine a basic structural design. While in lab, the group mainly focused on the design of the product. The group also created a budget and a list of materials that are necessary to fulfil the project. Throughout the meeting, the group talked about the basic research needed to be done in the fields of aerodynamics and material science to accomplish certain project goals, as well as creating a kite design using a CAD software, such as AutoCAD. In addition, the group created this blog, which will provide information and updates about the project.ĭuring the second week, the group members met out of class, in order to make future plans about the project. The members brainstormed and gathered many ideas, and came to the conclusion that the kite will have the shape and the colors of the Batman logo. With its striking design and a wingspan of 42 inches, this kite commands attention and promises exhilarating flying adventures.
