`cd` the drag coefficient and `cm` the pitching moment coefficient. The camber of a kite refers to
143+
the curvature of its airfoil shape. The camber is typically measured as the maximum distance

between the mean camber line (the line equidistant from the upper and lower surfaces)
145+
and the chord line of the airfoil.
