A face of the square box kite is perpendicular to the wind. How will I describe its effective area?
here is the link for the figure: http://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&q=cache:tEkiMuVXmAEJ:www.pearsonsuccessnet.com/ebook/workbooks/0-13-037878-X/0-13-037568-3C/GE06CPSA.pdf+go+fly+a+kite+designing+and+constructing+a+kite+geometry&hl=tl&gl=ph&sig=AHIEtbQjMUXPkWKkiJVoeFshuvkq41T7OQ

In this case, the effective area is the same as the area of the face perpendicular to the direction of the wind.
