Griffin Griffin (2006)

De 2006 Griffin Griffin in het kort.

Griffin - A mythical beast, the body of a lion and the wings and head of an eagle - Just as this hybrid beast possesses the most beneficial features of the king of the air and king of the land ....
The Griffin Kite possesses a design which gives the responsiveness, jumps and performance of the c style kites with the security of the currently popular 'flat' style kites.

Reactive Foil Section
The most efficient flying machines, eg albatross and other bird which spend extended time in flight all have the characteristic of being able to change their aerofoil to maximise their performance in relation to the prevailing conditions.

They do this by changing the angle of attack of their foils (wings). Having a centre strut inhibits the ability to do this.

Evolving kite structure by removing the centre strut the Monkey kite design can ‘breathe’ and flex just as a bird wing does to give the greatest efficiency available. This gives the kite aeroelasticity. Allows the design to have more ribs at the tips – where they deliver greater airflow providing increased performance at the bottom and top end of the kite range. This delays stalling behaviour at the bottom end increasing your kites wind range.
