Abstract
In this paper, aerodynamic data of the Gaori kite was constructed through the wind tunnel experiment taking into consideration all the angles of attack formed during the flight of the Gaori kite. From this aerodynamic data, we made a morphing analysis of the relative length of the front bridle to the rear bridle required to achieve equilibrium flight as the angle of attack of the Gaori kite or the azimuth angle change. As a result, it was found that the relative length of the front bridle to the rear bridle depends entirely on the chord length of the kite, the relative wind speed and changes morphed according to the angle of attack. Using this information data, one can adjust the relative length of the bridle line to suit the kite attitudes and flight environments handling the kites that maintain optimal flight performance.
