The Inspiration for our kite

Inspiration of our kite

      Looking at the world from a different perspective, soaring high above the azure sky, mesmerised by the height it reaches yet feeling a tinge of envy. That must be what the Wright brothers felt when they were inspired by a bird flying in the sky just like how we were inspired by the product of there inspiration, planes. 

      Kites flew for many centuries dating back to earlier than 400 bc being the basis to creations of many great flying machines and even used as an object of study by the Father of Aviation, Sir George Cayley. Therefore, we created a primitive diamond structure kite with the paintings of many flying objects over the last few centuries depicting the story behind the creations of aviation from such a simple structure.

      Our kite depicts the history of many aviators and carries the significance of the intention of different planes whether it is used for war, communication or transportation. Regardless of it use they fly under one sky and are a part of our history closely linked to kites.
