How does Bernoulli's principle effect kites? - Answers

Bernoulli's principle explains how the difference in air pressure above and below a kite's surface creates lift. As air flows over the curved top of the kite, it moves faster, resulting in lower pressure compared to the slower-moving air beneath the kite, which has higher pressure. This pressure difference generates lift, allowing the kite to rise and maintain altitude as long as there is sufficient wind. Properly shaping and positioning the kite enhances this effect, making it more effective in harnessing wind energy for flight.
