Wing
The “Alasca-2” kite has a wing of the “parafoil” type - its construc-
tion reminds a small paraglider. The wing consists of two textile
layers - the upper and the bottom surfaces, as well as inner ribs
that form the wing profile. To full the wing with air there are air
inlets at the leading edge of the kite. The ribs have openings for
air flow inside the wing. On the bottom surface there are loops
where the wing lines are mounted.
Wing lines
The wing lines are usually adapted by the producer. They define
the wing form. While correct usage of the wing, the wing lines
never get tangled.
One end of each extender (power lines and control lines) is
mounted to the wing, while another one - to the bar. The ex-
tenders are produced from the dyneema line and have 25 me-
ters length. Connection of the extenders with the kite and the
bar is made though running loops on the knots situated on the
ends of wing lines and bar leads.
