Intro :
After I have developed a software for paraglider and ram air kites, I worked out on the design of inflatable kites.
I wanted to provide a software witch allows to the designer a great freedom.
The technical part is developed with the participation of Norbert CURTI, Takoon (TM) kite designer from 2003 to 2005, and now independant designer.
Look at below to see some features
Additional features may be implemented to fit your
needs (and preferences) and thus adapted the software to your
personal use. Please contact me for these additional upgrades.
