Abstract

The careful observation of the dynamics of a kite in flight hints at the possibility of multiple equilibrium states. An application of bifurcation theory to a simplified model of kite flight bears out this assertion by proving the existence of a limit point bifurcation in the wind velocity/kite string angle plane
