<p>The invention relates to a wind resistance control device for elliptical traction kites. More specifically, the invention relates to a device that is used to turn a kite resting on the leading edge thereof over onto its back, to neutralise completely the traction of the kite and to maintain the kite thus without producing any structural deformation and to ensure an immediate and smooth re-ascent of the kite in all navigation configurations. The inventive device comprises a central control line (1) consisting of a pre-line (4) which is attached to the pilot and which extends into a central wire (5). Two suspension lines (7) are fixed to the end of the aforementioned central wire (5) and each of said suspension lines is fixed by means of an anchor point (8) to one of the two supports (9) which are disposed symmetrically on the inflatable structure (10), forming the leading edge of the kite (2). The above-mentioned pre-line (4) passes through a guide element (12) of the sliding control bar (13) which abuts a stopper knot (14) that is positioned on the pre-line (4). Said control bar (13) holds the kite (2) upright into the wind with the sail area parallel to the wind by means of the control lines (15). Moreover, a rod (19) reinforces the kite between the two supports (9). Said device is particularly suitable for controlling elliptical kites.</p> |
