Why Do Helikites Fly So Well ?

Sky Life with Helikites

The unique Helikite, the world’s only successful lighter-than-air kite.

Power

Harnessing both the pure, reliable lift of helium and the raw power of wind, the Helikite has unrivalled payload performance. Twice the load bearing ability of similar sized blimps.

Stability

Even the smallest Helikites fly superbly in high winds. Stability is ensured by the aerodynamic design, the stiff carbon-fibre spar and the relatively high gas pressure.

Altitude

How high do you wish to go? Helikites love to fly at high altitude. They get pushed up by both gravity and wind. Tether weight and drag is very low. All Helikites will fly to thousands of feet. Few Helikites are ever pushed to their altitude limit.

Endurance

From the very start Helikites were designed to fly unattended for extreme lengths of time in all weathers. Helikites are essentially aerial in habit and with their excellent helium holding ability they have great endurance.
