Lift Vs. Gravity By: Briana

Kites have three main forces: lift, gravity, and drag. Today I will be talking about two of the three concepts: Lift vs. Gravity

Lift is the upward force created by wind pressure on the face of the kite.

Gravity is the downward force on the kite which works against lift.

A kite cannot fly without either one of these forces. For a kite to fly gracefully, these forces need to be balance together.
