diamond kite

Four-pointed soarer

A diamond kite is the classic four-sided kite shape—a rhombus with a vertical spine and horizontal crossbar, wider near the top than the bottom.

It's the archetypal kite design, the one children draw: She made a simple diamond kite from newspaper and sticks.

Easy to build and fly, it remains popular for beginners.
