Delta kites are stable and don’t pull on the kite line as much: Delta kites tend to fly nearly parallel to the flow of the wind, resulting in a low angle of attack.This allows for longer periods of kite flying when other types of kites can’t stay in the air due to a lack of wind. Delta kites are great for light winds: While the design of a Delta kite allows it to be launched easily, it is also easy for a Delta kite to stay in the air even in light winds.A Delta also tends to be pushed up easily due to its design, lending to an easy launch. Delta kites are easier to launch: The sail of a Delta kite forms a billow and easily catches the wind.You can immediately launch your kite after. After inserting these rods into their respective pockets, you would then need to attach your kite line to the keel. Delta kites are easy to set up: If you buy a Delta kite, you would usually receive 2 rods to insert into the pockets of the sail to create the ‘frame’ of the kite.Delta kites are easily set up and can fold down to fit into a narrow tube for ease of transport. To help maintain the overall triangular shape of the delta kite, a spreader is used, usually across the length of the kite. Deltas are easy to handle and can be very eye-catching, which has led to their popularity.ĭelta kites are shaped like a triangle, with a keel – a triangular flap that you attach your kite line to – rather than a bridle line. It is a modern, typically single-line kite that is designed to fly well, and out-perform most other flat kites in light wind.

The Delta kite is currently the most popular type of kite.
