A power kite or traction kite is a large kite designed to provide significant pull to the user. They come in three main forms: foils, leading edge inflatables and Supporting Leading Edge. There are also rigid-framed kites and soft single skin kites. There are several different control systems used with these kites which have two to five lines and a bar or handles.

Power kites are generally used in conjunction with a vehicle or board, such as in

• kitesurfing on a kiteboard
• kite buggying on a purpose-built 3-wheeled cart
• kite landboarding on an all Terrain Board/Mountainboard/Landboard
• kite skating on all-terrain roller skates
• snow kiting on skis or snowboards
• kite jumping, using a power kite for jumping above the ground
• manlifting, where a harnessed kite flier is tethered to the ground or one or more people to provide tension and lift.

Kites of related design are used for sailing, including speed-sailing. A kite-powered boat (Jacob’s Ladder) set the C-Class world saiing speed record with a speed of 25 knots in 1982, a record that stood for six years. A kite-board was the first sailing craft to exceed a speed of 50 knots in October 2008.
