Another effect of
a kite's flying aerodynamics is when the airflow is not just split along
the upper and lower kite surfaces, but when the split air vaults over the
kite and doesn't meet up again right away. When this happens a lower air
pressure is created directly behind the kite's flight pattern. The kite
can be sucked into the area of low pressure, causing drag. If
this effect is increased, the low-pressure area leaks onto the top surface
of the kite reducing the lift and making it stall.
