[Provisional protection only.] Aerial machines without aërostats; aërial machines with aërostats; starting.-A disc-shaped frame, carrying a car and sails, is provided with sails made in the form of oval rings, and with rudders for horizontal and vertical steering. The inclination of the apparatus may be adjusted by a movable weight hung from the car. The frame may be hollow and filled with gas to give buoyancy. The apparatus may be partly sustained and propelled by the reaction of air, vapour, or gas, escaping from orifices from a reservoir or generator in which it is contained under pressure, or gas generated by the burning of a composition of the nature of rocket powder may be used. To raise the apparatus in the first instance, a high tower is provided up and out of which it is forced by air under pressure, the sails opening out as the apparatus issues into the air.
