And it is not that certain kites become better if LE diameter is made smaller and pressure increased. It's not a new idea at all, about 15 years ago first thin LE kites (with partially dyneema LE) became available They pumped it with a normal pump - that means that the pressure was not higher than ...
Interesting basic studying of high pressure tubes and well executed to be able to take that much pressure. Though that kite is somehow butchered now, after taking struts off and making crude modifications to canopy shape... One main reason why current kites are so effective is they are designed and...
