who created the tetahedral kites?

Alexander Graham Bell is generally credited for inventing or at least developing on a grand scale, the tetrahedral kite.  He actually hoped it would be the basis for making an airplane.  He made some great, giant kites but never made a practical airplane.  Bell was much more famous for inventing the telephone.

Daedalus was a famous and ingenious Athenian architect, and was hired by the Cretan king Minoas, to design the Labyrinth for him, where he would cage his beast, Minotaurus. Daedalus went to Crete with his Son Icarus, made a design for Minoas, and when the building was finished, Minoas was  so impressed that he locked them inside the labyrinth (and not a tower), so that noone else could have Daedalus design something for them...\nHowever, Daedalus was so smart, that He thought of a plan to escape: He asked for some wax in order to fix something for the king, which he used to make wings. The labyrinth didn't have a roof, so they actually flew away. Icarus got so excited, that he flew too high, despite his father's warnings, and his wax wings melted, and he fell in the Aegean and drowned. The wave dragged his body on an island, which was named, and still is named Icaria.\n\n\nEnd of Story!!

A basic diamond-shaped kite satisfies the mathematical properties of a rhombus.

I desperately need to see a computer motion graphic of birds called terns in a flock as they twist and turn in the air.  I need the triangular space BETWEEN the birds marked in the motion graphic like little sails.  The triangular sails shift and redefine themselves as the flock of birds fly and twist and undulate.  I need to see just all those triangles and not the birds themselves.  If someone could do that for me, I could probably answer the Great and Mysterious Secret of the Universe.   : )   I'm looking at Chaos in nature. I can pretty much see it with my own eyes.  But, gosh, I wish I had the computer skills to make that happen like I describe above.

A tetrahedron is a solid with four faces. Tetra- means four, -hedron means solid geometric object.\n\nYou can also think of it as a triangular pyramid.

Well possibly there are more than one person with this name. \nBut I found one who is a coach and rider for Kiteboarding. \nDoes that help?

Aryabhatta - and other ancient Indian mathematicians.\n\nThe concept of zero, or Shunya was then taken by the Arabs to Europe.

Many. They are called orreries. There is one on the internet too (see reference). The first reference has a picture of one at the Smithsonian. \n\nBefore the orrery, there was something similar called the armillary sphere, invented by Eratosthenes (aka spherical astrolabe, armilla, or armil).\n\nThe tellurian is similar to orrery. Sometimes an orrery was called a planetarium.

That depends on whether you are talking about lighter-than-air aircraft (balloons, blips, etc,) or heavier-than-air aircraft (airplanes, gliders, and helicopters).\n\nThe hot air balloon was invented by the Montgolfier brothers in France in 1783.\n\nIn 1853, Englishman George Cayley made the first manned glider flight. \n\nThe airplane was first successfully flown by the Wright Brothers in 1903.

polyhedron (pŏl'ēhē'drən) , closed solid bounded by plane faces; each face of a polyhedron is a polygon. A cube is a polyhedron bounded by six polygons (in this case squares) meeting at right angles. Although regular polygons are possible for any number of sides, there are only five possible regular polyhedrons, having congruent faces, each a regular polygon and meeting at equal angles. The five regular polyhedrons are also known as the Platonic solids, although they were known to the Greeks before the time of Plato. They are the tetrahedron, bounded by four equilateral triangles; the hexahedron, or cube, bounded by six squares; the octahedron, bounded by eight equilateral triangles; the dodecahedron, bounded by twelve regular pentagons; and the icosahedron, bounded by twenty equilateral triangles. The 18th-century Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler showed that for any simple polyhedron, i.e., a polyhedron containing no holes, the sum of the number of vertices V and the number of faces F is equal to the number of edges E plus 2, or V+F=E+2

I used to make them as well..if you hold up three of your fingers.. this is the shape to put the sticks to start...Then insert the other two sticks horizontaly between the other ones. There is also a kite version..but its very hard to describe how to make it.

Make a Dodecahedron. That's what I did.

Hi Jeric!\nHere is my explanation.\nLet’s consider the simplest kite construction – a triangular plane of light but rigid material, the tail attached to the kite as well as the rope help you to keep the kite in stability - to prevent the kite from ducking and spinning. The best weather to fly a kite is the evenly blowing wind with no gusts. Now let the kite be in normal position for any flying kite that is making an angle u to horizon. A mass of air m at velocity v1 has momentum M1=m*v1 – this is a vector. When it hits the kite’s underneath it reflects from triangular plane changing its direction to v2. Thus M2=m*v2. The change in momentum through time t will induce force F=(M2-M1)/t acting on the kite from underneath. Vector F has two components: Fx - horizontal one, Fy – vertical one.\nFx=abs(F)*sin(u) which is compensated by your hand through the rope, otherwise the kite would be carried away with the wind. Fy=abs(F)*cos(u) is the force that compensates the gravity force on the whole construction + that hoisting the kite until the length of the rope permits further hoisting.\nThere is another explanation in terms of aerodynamics, but mine will also do. Flying kites is a healthy sports!

Kites and paper construction techniques originated in China, more than 2000 years ago, but there is no definitive answer as to the date and place where the very first paper airplane was invented.\n\nHowever, Leonardo da Vinci did make reference to building a model plane out of parchment in his notebooks. As Leonardo was born April 15, 1452 in Vinci, Italy, and died in May 2, 1519 in Cloux, France; his notebooks pre-date 1903 by about 400 years. \n\nTherefore the answer is yes, paper airplanes were around prior to 1903.
