Box Kites
Box kites, also known as cellular kites, come in many different shapes and
sizes. They are known for their stability and lifting capability.
Lawrence Hargrave
designed a box kite that lifted him into the air in 1894. His design
was later improved on by Samuel Cody,
whose winged box kite could lift men to heights of 1600 feet, and was used by the British War Office for observation.
