Good reading, thanks I learned things
So... North have/had the semi-detached center strut thing - not worth it?
How about the SS idea of building the strut into the sail - worth it? looks nice & aero anyway
Regardless of the implementation I think your metaphor is misguided. Living being have a rigid central support because it is efficient for it to protect its organs. No such thing on a kite.eree wrote:

you don't have to be aerodynamics engineer to see what is good and what isn't. look at the nature, natural selection shows us: almost 100% of every advanced living beings have central rigid support structure to support its body. like spine for the mammals.
