@inkokosну ты сам задал этот вопрос
WHY 'TRIM STRAP' AND NOT THE 'DEPOWER STRAP"?
The confusion often arises when it comes to understanding kite trim and power. Some brands make it more complicated, referring to the trim strap as depower strap and using tags on kite pigtails with terms like "more power" or "less power" on different knots. To clarify, it's essential to grasp that every wing, including kites, has a specific working range determined by the speed over and under its surfaces.
Altering the Angle of Attack (AA) - by pulling on the trim strap, moving the bar up and down and changing the knot connection on the pigtails; only slightly affects lift. The primary factor to create more or less lift is the shape of the wing and the difference in speed between the upper and lower surfaces. The more effective the wing shape, the greater the speed difference, resulting in more lift with less drag.
The kite's trim strap, bar, and pigtails are used to adjust the kite's response and reactivity within its designed range, not necessarily to control power directly. Changing the AoA affects drag, influencing how the kite responds to the given lift shape. Pulling the trim strap when the bar is down doesn't significantly alter power, it mostly adjusts the kite's responsiveness.
The fabric of kites is soft, allowing for some deformation that influences the wing's shape. This, along with the virtual intrados created by turbulence, extends the kite's range. However, extreme adjustments can lead to issues like backstalling, where the laminar flow detaches, causing the kite to lose lift, or on the other side, the kite could not react at all and there will be no control of it.
In summary, the trim strap and bar adjustments are about optimizing the kite's responsiveness within its designed range. The goal is to make the kite more reactive, translating to faster movements and increased power during power strokes. Riders can also influence power by changing line length, always staying within the kite's limits to maintain control and prevent backstalling.
Remember, the faster the kite reacts and moves with the less possible drag, the more power it can generate at a given wind, in other words the more efficient it will be!
