- 2. A rotary kite as in claim 1 wherein said masts are set at a dihedral angle.
- 3. A rotary kite which is free to rotate while tethered by flexible means, said kite having a minimum of structural members consisting of a hub, a plurality of masts radiating from said hub, a plurality of sails attached to said plurality of masts, each of said plurality of sails being sheeted to an adjacent one of said plurality of masts with slack to allow wind spillage, a shaft extending through said hub, a control arm, said shaft extending through said control arm wherein said flexible means attaches to said control arm to constrain said kite.
