(Upon some examination this work seems to have to do with rotating paddles, a "rotary beating mechanism", half immersed within the craft, so as to achieve forward momentum. "Supporting planes" play the role of ordinary "wings", as in the manner of airplanes. They are also explicitly treated as "playing the part of a parachute", that is, checking a fall in the case of a stoppage. Structural comparisons to monoplanes are included within the document, though the principles, and the number or supporting planes and so forth, may be varied, increased, for applicability to airships.)

This patent application is introduced “We, Société Anonyme L’Aéra and Alfred Wunderlich, both of 3 Avenue des Arts, Brussels, Belgium . . .” This corporate name and possibility of its being a later incarnation of A. Wunderlich & Cie, Ingénieurs-Conseils, are being investigated.
