Aspect Ratio
Aspect Ratio refers to the ratio between the kites width and its average height (Span and Chord).
The aspect ratio of a kite can range between 7 for high AR and 3 for low AR.
A low aspect kite is generally deeper in its average chord measurement and will fly slower.
A high aspect ratio kite would typically be shorter in its average chord measurement and unless it's of bad design will fly generally faster..
The wider and thinner the kites looks the higher the aspect ratio.
