An adjustable shape kite has a wing of a flexible material and an adjustable bridle system. The wing is a single layer wing that does not include structural support to provide its shape during flight. The bridle system is adjustable to adjust the wing curvature during flight. An aerodynamic shape is formed in the wing with a leading edge and side edges being rolled over by oncoming wind acting against the wing in conjunction with tensile forces acting thereon by the bridle lines of the bridle system.
