How High Can a Kite Fly: Kilometres Count When Robert Moon Gets Involved
Be warned: flying a kite with Australian Robert Moore is not a great idea.
The reason is that this man is a record holder who set a world record for the highest single kite flight on September 23, 2014.
The kite under his control was able to rise to a height of 10,009 feet, which is almost 5 kilometers (4879.54 meters, to be precise).
The achievement originated on a sheep farm in Cobar, New South Wales, Australia.
If this height gained by the kite seemed stunning to you, don’t rush to admire – we have something to surprise you with.
According to Kite Lines magazine, kites can reach altitudes of 31,955 feet (9,470 meters).
True, in this case we are talking about a whole bunch of kites, consisting of eight pieces.
They were launched on August 1, 1919, by the Prussian Meteorological Institute over Lindenberg, Germany.
