to fly them Answer Alexander Wilson in 1749 was the first person to use a kite for scientific investigation. He measured the temperature as different heights using a train of kites to hold several thermometers aloft upto a height of around 3,00ft. This was also the first written account of a train of kites being used. He performed the experiment at Camlachie in Scotland. Benjamin Franklin did his famous lightning experiment in 1752.
