Subject

Description
Baker uses the concepts of kites to explain concepts of aerodynamics and fluid mechanics. The image helps convey the flow of air to a child who doesn't understand how a "tailless" kite works. Additionally, the cut in the middle was not conveyed with words in a way that the picture could explain it.
