I'm confused as a vehicle transports people or goods and can move through any medium.

Thinking.....
After looking up the meaning of vehicle, I see that my answer there was incorrect and misleading. My mistake. The reason I said it was not a vehicle is that some objects that 'transports people or goods and can move through any medium' are never refered to as a vehicle. A submarine is an example of that. So technically this thing is a vehicle.

@Catfish. Not a kite.

Yes indeed my friend it is.



The inboard portion of the wings were corrugated, not smooth to disipate heat.

Over to you Jim.

Indeed they were and I was close enough to physically touch one back in 2012 at IWM Duxford.

Below is the picture I took of my mate doing just that but shortly after he reciprocated the gesture and as my luck usually pans out, the memory card on his camera became corrupted at a cost of over five hundred lost pictures.
