"The invention consists, primarily, [of a] novel flying machine or aeroplane provided with a gyro-plane [and] various arrangements and combinations of the several devices and parts . . ."
"The gyroplane [is to be operated] either by motor-power or by hand, so that in case of [an] accident to the motor, the gyroplane may be kept in revolution by means of hand-power" while the operator controls a glide to earth.
Objectives of the invention:
- "provide a novel and simply constructed mechanism by means of which the propeller may be disconnected from the motor allowing the gyro-plane only to be operated, and thus enabling the operator to raise the machine directly from the ground without first gaining sufficient momentum by the use of wheels and the exerted motor-power for driving the same, and when the flying machine has risen to any desired height the propeller may be engaged in connection with the gyro-plane."
- "provide in connection with a flying machine, a gyro-plane which . . . maintains [its] stability . . . when struck by sudden gusts of wind."
- "provide a series of operated blades in the gyro-plane which enable the operator to lower or raise the machine without the use of'l the raising or lowering planes situated at the extremities of the machine; and furthermore, the blades may be set at any desired angle, when the machine is in forward motion, to offset the lifting power of the gyro-plane and enable the operator to maintain his desired height."
