A deployable airborne surveillance kite for flying in a wind over a surface includes a wing, a tail, and a spar coupling the wing to the tail. The kite further includes a thrust rotor mounted to the kite in a vertical orientation for providing vertical lift to the kite. A tether assembly extends from the kite to the surface and couples the kite to the surface providing downward resistance in opposition to the vertical lift provided by the thrust rotor.
