Kite

 * 1) An object which deflects its position in a media by obtaining lift and drag in reaction with its relative motion in the media while being tethered by a line anchored sufficiently to maintain enough tension in the line for the deflection dynamics. There are air kites, water kites, and other kites typed by the operating media. Deflection, lift, and drag depend on the shape of the kite parts (main kite body, kite bridle, kite line) and the relative positions of parts; the relative density of the kite and the media used affect results.

paragliding
Hi. "The activity of gliding a kite system" seems to be a definition of kite gliding and not of paragliding (as you said, it's a proper subset). So our definition 1 at paragliding already covers this. Equinox ◑ 23:24, 8 October 2011 (UTC)
