Anders JildestrandThe X Wing by Starboard Kite Division
The design brief for the X-Wings was to design an especially
user-friendly water re-launchable range of kites.Flight characteristics for the different sizes remain consistent by tuning the aspect
ratio to the surface area – as area increases, the aspect ratio decreases. The number of cells
also increases as the area increases, to keep the inflation of the kites consistent.
The foil shapes were developed specifically for this project – a lot of curve in the entry makes the wing
very forgiving to changes in the angle of attack, and reflex (or negative curve) in the back of the profile
provides stability.The X-Wing has the following design aspects that aid in it’s water re-launching abilities;
– Highly curved leading edge
– Canopy curve accelerates towards the tips
– Sealed seam construction, and superior coated materials give 12 minutes+ + inflation time
– Overall weight is very low.-Reduced set-up and pack down time due to no bladders or pumps
-Set-up is as simple as unfolding the kite. and attaching the flying lines.
-The X-Wings can be flown as a 2 line kite, or with a 3rd brake line.
-No leaking bladders to repair and no pumps to remember,CONSTRUCTION
