An elongated balloon, preferably composed of several compartments, is enclosed in a framework, which enables the whole apparatus to move steadily through the air.
The propeller, wings, or screw-blades are fixed to the sides of the framework, and are preferably actuated by a gas-engine supplied with gas from the balloon itself.
The car, which is formed of a light rectangular structure, is fastened to a shaft hanging from the balloon frame and is held in position by stays.

The wings resemble "orthopterous insects" in shape and motion.
