Rectangular frame skeleton with arch and fabric covering on top; screw propeller and paddle propellers; wing planes rotate and fold; rounded edges

Described in Aero 11 days after grant: "An aeroplane comprising a main frame and separate rotatable shafts mounted transversely thereon, planes on the outer portions of said shafts" and the "outer planes [are] hinged to fold [the] planes against [the] frame", and "operating devices having flexible means connected with the inner end edges of each plane wherewith the planes may be rotated and also permitted to fold without disconnecting the parts."

  • Tech class: CPC B64C39/005: Aircraft not otherwise provided for with wings, paddle wheels, bladed wheels, moving or rotating in relation to the fuselage about a horizontal transversal axis
  • Inventor location: Cleveland, Cuyahoga county, OH (FIPSloc=39035, imputed by HistPat)
  • Witnesses as shown on the diagram pages: E. M. Fisher and F. C. Mussun ; there is an off-chance here of there being two Mussuns here, between the diagram pages and the final text page, sharing a middle initial, and not the first initial, only possibly; the other witnesses data helps us home in on Fisher & Moser.
  • Witnesses as shown on the final text page: R. B. Moser and F. C. Mussun
