From Inventing aviation

No balloon ; airplane on a wire between towers ; electric power ; he's calling these air-ships I think because he uses aeroplane to refer to the wing/airfoil only, and airship means the entire vehicle. This one seems good. (In other words, the vessels have their own driving propulsion in the form of a motor & propeller, but aren't especially designed for lift, because they're hanging from a tower); electric power potentially supplied through central connecting cable; envisions passengers – perhaps as amusement park ride?
