Kuwait Flag Kite - The largest in the world

Some data about the kite:

The laid out flat size of the Kite is 42m x 25m (1050sq.m.). While flying it becomes a little smaller than this because of curvature of the edges when inflated, about 900sq.m.

The Kite took 750 hours to make, weighs approximately 180kgms and used 2500sq.m of specially loomed 50gm/sq.m ripstop nylon. The main flying line is 25 tonne breaking strain. Uniquely, this kite has a safety take down system that causes the kite to invert, deflate and descend to the ground in seconds. The safety take down line was anchored to a refrigerated lorry that, as the driver said "If this baby gets loose - I'm not stopping till i hit the beach"
