FlipperWings have a role to play here too. Lifters can include kytoons so low or high wind remains active arena. |

The proa sail alternation of leading edge called "shunting" is a slow cycling; such alternation of parts playing leading-edge roles may play a role in renewable-energy kite systems. See also: Rotor, Flettner, Magnus-effect, Robins effect, rotoplane, rotating ribbon arch kite. Some flipwings shunt, some do not shunt.] |
