I've been experimenting with an underwater kite. Thinking I could design a dual kite system. To break the world speed record for sailing. But using 2 kites, one 10 ft underwater and the other 100ft in the air. And the pilot flys 10 ft over the water. Sounds simple. I'm thinking 50m air kite. Seems like water is 800x denser than air. So the underwater kite can be .5m. Control the air kite with one hand and the water kite with the other. The pilot hangs from the harness. The idea puts the water kite deep enough for clean water. Unlike dirty surface water. The pilot flys over the water so that the turbulence of surface water doesn't matter. I'm testing the underwater kite as a new way to fish to keep testing cost down. A new way of fishing might be better than a new way to fly. Fun to play with regardless.
