Patent GB-1909-30604
This is a hybrid airplane/balloon with balloon position adjustable for purposes of stability & navigation.
Preferably the balloon is not quite sufficient to raise the car, the lifting being done by the further aid of planes C secured to the car. These planes may however be dispensed with an the buyoancy of the balloon alone relied on for lifting the car and its load. [...]
When the machine is stationary the balloon takes up a position vertically above the load-carrying portion so that the vertical axes of these two parts are in line iwth each other, as is shown at X—X in Figure 2. When, however, the vessel moves forward the balloon will cant rearwardly, and at a high speed it takes the position shown in Figure 2, thereby decreasing the air-resistance and also providing automatic stability for the aeroplane the car being air-borne by the planes.
