"The Blue Whale is not just big, it's massive. Considered the largest animal
in the world, these amazing creatures are nearly 100 feet in length and
weigh a staggering 180 metric tons. An animal this size probably wouldn't
fare too well outside of the ocean, unless of course you transformed the
whale into an enormous kite."

When I was at school, my geography teacher used to do kite-making
workshops and he had an approximately life-sized biggish shark kite.
It was probably about 2-3 metres long. It was visually more on the
cartoony side than the blue whale kite, but it looked very good in the
sky.
I wonder what sort of breeze you'd need to get the blue whale up in
the air...

The description mentions that you need a lot of skill to fly it.
