- Patent GB-1913-4191 (English title: A type of winged flying machine in which weight, levered wings, and factors including human "muscular effort" are arranged as to most greatly facilitate lift, Supplementary to patent: Patent AT-1912-75092)
- Patent GB-1913-4191.18112 (English title: An exhaustively counterbalanced human-powered flying machine with flapping wings, Supplementary to patent: Patent GB-1913-4191 • Patent AT-1912-75092)
- Patent GB-1913-4191.29772 (English title: An exhaustively counterbalanced human-powered flying machine with flapping wings, Supplementary to patent: Patent GB-1913-4191 • Patent AT-1912-75092)
(This is a stable-winged flying machine, which incidentally mentions the possibility of "muscular power" as a possible source of propulsion. This aircraft is therefore only possibly human-powered. A state of constant wing equilibrium is maintained by way of having the bulk of the weight resting on or suspended from transmission organs mounted on the frame. The weight is transmitted to the levered wings in such a manner as to move the wings in the opposite direction relative to that in which air resistance would move them. This aircraft is "statically counterbalanced", allowing all forces to cooperate towards a single, and upward, result. Among these weights and forces are included that positioning of the pilot himself, throughout all processes of flight. The lift associated with air resistance thusly effectuates harmoniously with forward momentum, and all without losing stability. These principles fit nicely with the interest taken in bird flight both by Franz Xaver Wels, himself, and by Ignaz Etrich. This is possibly a monoplane, though this is not definite. It has characteristics of a glider, as well, though "muscular power" is not necessarily the exclusive source of propulsion.)
