Design for a glider or airplane shape based on the form of a seagull.

... the body is of stream-line form, tapering to the rear, and the wings project forward for about half their length, after which they recede. The points of maximum incidence in the wings are the most forward parts, with the consequence that the air is caused to flow laterally away from these parts of maximum incidence.

The wing shapes are described and illustrated precisely.

Refers to an earlier patent by Wolfmüller, Patent GB-1910-13331, which the authors state had a similar objective.
