"Pierre's Eclipse and Ammonia kites are some of his favorites from the moment he first saw them flying. It is a flying piece of sculpture, which is what makes it so different. It is unlike anything else in your kite bag (or anyone else's kite bag). If you want something truly unique, then this is the kite for you."

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.
