The gyroplane. Rigid steel tubes create four arms extending out from the center. Each arm has a revolving blade; the two pairs of opposite propellers move inversely.

Additional framework is built onto the steel skeleton using elastic links to allow some flexibility. (This framework is described as useful for the symmetrical wing attachment in Patent FR-1908-395756.) Various planes are attached, including large aeroplanes mounted horizontally, intended both as stabilizers and sustainers.

The orientation of the axes of the propellers can be altered for vertical or horizontal propulsion.
