Refers to planes, frame, fans, blowers, and propellers. In every claim, definitively refers to this being a "heavier than air" craft.
Q (from Peter): The idea seems to be to blow air from below the sides of the plane up into a channeled path or engine or propeller, thinking this will give lift. But wouldn't the fan be pushing the craft on net down by blowing? It doesn't seem to work at a basic level of physics. And, the language seems pre-paradigmatic, not clearly saying the purpose is to give lift, as opposed to propulsion or navigation. But this is from 1915, which is late enough that all players knew a lot about airplanes. So maybe I'm missing the basics here, if this cleared an examination.
