West Lothian Archaeological Trust
West Lothian and Gloucestershire Aerial Archaeology specialises in kite aerial photography (KAP) from the near ultra-violet through to the near and thermal infrared (thermography) History West Lothian and Gloucestershire Aerial Archaeology started as the West Lothian Archaeological Trust. It was formed on 19 April 2012 and registered as Scottish Charity No. SC043118 on 26 April 2012, having been known informally, since 2007, as West Lothian (Aerial) Archaeology. The Trust also had an interest in sites in England, especially Gloucestershire. The Trustees were Jim Knowles, Cade, John and Rosie Wells. In May 2013, the Trust was approved as an associated partner of ArcheoLandscapes Europe (ArcLand), part of the European Union's Culture Programme, to represent its area of expertise. Also in May, the Trust launched The Scottish National Aerial Photography Scheme (SNAPS - UK and Ireland). In 2016, the Trust became a member of the successor to ArcLand Europe: ArcLand International. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

A kite is a tethered heavier than air flight, heavier-than-air or lighter-than-air craft with wing surfaces that react against the air to create Lift (force), lift and Drag (physics), drag forces. A kite consists of wings, tethers and anchors. Kites often have a bridle and tail to guide the face of the kite so the wind can lift it. Some kite designs don’t need a bridle; box kites can have a single attachment point. A kite may have fixed or moving anchors that can balance the kite. The name is derived from kite (bird), kite, the hovering bird of prey. The Lift (force), lift that sustains the kite in flight is generated when air moves around the kite's surface, producing low pressure above and high pressure below the wings. The interaction with the wind also generates horizontal Drag (physics), drag along the direction of the wind. The resultant force vector from the lift and drag force components is opposed by the tension of one or more of the rope, lines or tethers to which t ...
