Comment by vinbeazel on March 15, 2008 at 1:55am - This video demonstrates principles which defy the teachings of engineers, in the area of lift to drag ratios and how the kite can lift so much weight and sustain lifting for a definite period...this shows that a small crew could lift megalithic stones in ancient times as well as in our own day. Any aerospace engineers have any theories on what the video shows, which is not in the physics textbooks?
