Now why would anyone think of flying a kite in the path of a Virgin Atlantic A330 or a British Airways Boeing 777?? Those aircraft types would not be affected by an average sized kite. The smaller prop planes like Cessna 208 Caravan, Britten Norman BN-2 Islander or possibly even a turbo prop ATR could be affected if a kite collides in the engine.
