An illuminated kite includes a number of light sources extending along its surfaces. These light sources may include a number of light circuits, each of which includes light bulbs extending in a spaced-apart relationship along an electrical wire including a pair of conductors, or one or more electroluminescent panels extending along a cover surface of the kite. The light circuits extend, within transparent sleeves formed in the kite cover, adjacent structural members of the kite. The electroluminescent panels are coated on the surface of the kite cover, or they are formed as elastomeric solids to be placed in pockets on the kite cover.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.]1. An illuminated kite comprising:a frame including a plurality of structural members providing structural support;a transparent cover sheet attached to various structural members within said plurality of structural members, wherein said transparent cover sheet is stretched between various said structural members to provide for aerodynamic flight;a plurality of light sources extending along said transparent cover sheet, wherein each light source in said plurality thereof is directly visible from each side of said transparent cover sheet;a battery power source electrically connected to said plurality of light sources, anda first transparent sleeve extending along said transparent cover sheet, wherein said plurality of light sources includes a first light circuit extending within said first transparent sleeve, and wherein said first light circuit includes conductive wires electrically connected to said battery power source and a plurality of light bulbs extending along said conductive wires in a spaced-apart relationship and electrically connected with said conductive wires to illuminate when an electrical potential is placed across said conductive wires.
