Mamoru Kawaguchi was a true engineer. He was approached by a village community in Japan who wanted to make a 100‐metre long koinobori (flying carp) – some 30 times large than traditional koinobori – whose first attempt had failed dramatically. The community had approached a number of scientists from various disciplines who declared it could not be done. The author set about the problem as any engineer would – he made some models. Using a dimensionless number and the results of some wind‐tunnel tests, he was able to realise the community's dream.
