Our design philosophy is to push the performance envelope by applying technically correct principles to the problems of traction kiting. Clearly, inverted 'U' or 'C' shaped 'bucket' kites have a large area of non-contributing surface resulting in low projected area to actual area percentage.<br /> <br /> The Rapture II has the highest projected area presently available with a high degree of form stability and attendant efficiency. It vary from the offerings of others in several significant ways including a straight rather than concave tip-to-tip trailing edge, lack of pulleys in the bar or bridle system and a particularly flat high projected area canopy curve when viewed from the front or rear. In order to achieve this, we have overcome the form stability problem with a combination of design factors including a pre-loaded tube structure and a torque-inducing bridle geometry which responsively apply the dynamic loads in a constructive manner. The result is a kite with excellent wind range, gust absorption, upwind ability, floaty jumps, speed and efficiency. Bar pressure is low and the bridle system is transparent and trouble-free in use.<br /> <br /> ==Manual==<br /> <br /> ==Pictures==<br /> <br /> [[Image:Rapture_2_2006_1.jpg]]<br /> <br /> ==Videos==<br /> <br /> ===Promo Video===<br /> <br /> &lt;kftv&gt;Windwing_Rapture_2_2006_Promo_Video&lt;/kftv&gt;<br /> <br /> ===Relaunch Video===<br /> <br /> &lt;kftv&gt;Windwing_Rapture_2_2006_Relaunch&lt;/kftv&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Reviews==<br /> <br /> ===English===<br /> <br /> [http://www.kiteforum.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=2324441 Rapture 2 2006 - kiteforum.com]<br /> <br /> [http://www.kiteforum.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=2322564 Rapture 2 2006 12.0 - kiteforum.com]<br /> <br /> [http://www.kiteforum.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=2322455 Rapture 2 2006 12.0 + 16.5 - kiteforum.com]<br /> <br /> [http://www.kiteforum.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=2321972 Rapture 2 2006 16.5 - kiteforum.com]<br /> <br /> ==Trim Tips==<br /> <br /> ===Attachment Points===<br /> <br /> [[Image:Rapture_2_2006_3.png|400px]]</div>
