The Ammonia is a 3-D kite derived from Pierre Marzin's Eclipse kite.  Pierre started designing a family of circle based kites in 2010.  The Ammonia was made for Cervia Artevento 2024


The Ammonia is composed of 1 big (black) front circle (Hexadecagon) and 3 smaller circles (white) plus a circle at the back with a keel.  


The circles are tensioned by fiberglass rods, then connected together with 4 mm carbon tubes/rods.  Lines are hooked to specially printed fittings assuring that each circles stays in the desired plane (two planes with a dihedral angle of 50 degrees.)  A half circle keel is added to the back circles for stability.  The simple bridle is removable, with 2 legs to the front and back, one leg to each of the side circles.  

This kite has custom fittings.  Replacement fittings can be printed in the US if needed.
