Motor-driven, boat-shaped airplane, with several umbrella-parachutes sticking up out of it; these open and close rapidly to raise the vessel upwards; propeller and rudder for horizontal movement. Like "the rapid opening and closing of an umbrella" Appears to be unworkable -- the forces suggested in the diagram would not be enough to lift the boat/car/fuselage.

  • Tech class CPC B64C33/02 Wings; Actuating mechanisms therefor -- that usually means flapping; should we include flapping/ornithopter below? Yes, it seems so, but the patent text avoids "flapping" or "birds" or orthopter/ornithopter terminology
  • Inventor location: Tonopah, Nye county, NV (FIPSloc=32023, imputed by HistPat)
