  • Publication number: 20070102584
    Abstract: A kite is provided that includes a novel fuselage with a fore section that is closed, a top section having a top fuselage opening, and a bottom section having a bottom fuselage opening at the bottom aft of the fuselage. The configuration of the fuselage allows for the placement of payload through the top fuselage opening, and the release of the payload through the bottom fuselage opening. The payload itself may be maintained within the fuselage chamber by a releasing mechanism. The releasing mechanism is a timer mechanism to release the payload after a preset time, or alternatively, is a wireless controlled mechanism. In an alternative embodiment, the payload may be secured outside the fuselage chamber, with the releasing mechanism secured within to release the payload after a pre-set time. In another aspect, the kite itself is released using the releasing mechanism.
