- 18:5418:54, 7 June 2024 diff hist +16 Wing warping →See also: Link back to the Sport Kite page which links here. Note many sport kite designs over the past 40 years leverage wing warping for kite control. The Wright Bros initial kite designs are an example, and the prior art in European kites were part of the reason the 1899 patent application (shown at the top of this page) was denied as kites already used it. current
- 18:5018:50, 7 June 2024 diff hist +8 Wing warping Expand the wording in a small but critical way. Although warping like this can be used on aircraft, they were initially designed and tested on kites, and remain a primary control method for many kite designs. The patent image used to demonstrate it to the left is clearly a kite, the patent application describes wing warping of a kite, etc.

I feel dirty citing two facebook announcement posts but can't find any other source for the actual announcements. Per WP:NOSCOCIAL and WP:FACEBOOK, the subject's official page may be used as a self-published primary source when there is no other web presence. Sadly, Facebook has become the primary source for announcements.
