- Indoor kite
Indoor kites are kites designed to fly in a windless environment. Whilst principally designed for indoor use, they can also be flown outdoors when insufficient wind would render conventional kite-flying impossible. They are flown by using the relative wind provided by the motion of the kite-flier. This motion is typically generated by the user walking slowly backwards (and often within a circle), but it can also be achieved with suitable pulls and jerks along the lines.
Indoor kites were developed from low-wind kites, as ultralight modern kitemaking materials became available. They are almost always two-line (although some four-line varieties are available) and fully dirigible. They are capable of performing the same tricks and maneuvers as an ordinary two-line kite. Indoor kite festivals occur regularly, complete with the flying-displays and competitions that take place at ordinary kiting events.
