Wikipedia
Kite balloon
A kite balloon is a tethered balloon which is shaped to help make it stable in low and moderate winds and to increase its lift. It typically comprises a streamlined envelope with stabilising features and a harness or yoke connecting it to the main tether and a second harness connected to an observer's basket. Kite balloons are able to fly in higher winds than ordinary round balloons which tended to bob and spin in windy conditions. They were extensively used for military observation during World War I and similar designs were used for anti-aircraft barriers, as barrage balloons in both world wars.

kite balloon
A kite balloon is a type of balloon that incorporates a wind-catching airfoil or vane to keep it oriented in a specific direction relative to the wind. It is typically larger than traditional balloons and is filled with a lighter-than-air gas, such as helium, to allow it to float in the air. Kite balloons have been historically used for various purposes, including meteorology, military observation, and photography.
