soft single skin kite

Soft single skin kites are the least complex of all the power kites. The best known design is the Nasa Power Wing. For more, see rogallo wing. This is a very simple kite with mixed performance. It has excellent pull, but is slow to maneuver and suffers from a limited wind window. Its simple construction and forgiving design make it popular among hobbyists, but its drawbacks make it unsuitable for traction sports. There are also soft single skin kites designed to be used on sailing boats as a free flying spinnaker substitute. There are significant advantages to having the spinnaker catching wind further above the surface of the water than is normal. This design was tested in the 2003 America's Cup by the Oracle team.
