An airplane-airship hybrid. Hitherto, he writes, hybrids have relied on their LTA balloon. This vessel is to be primarily an airplane, with an LTA component used for speedy takeoff and then its gas (hydrogen?) consumed as fuel. (The ballonnets remain in place, now filled with simple air to replace the gas.) He acknowledges that prior inventions have used balloon gas as fuel—but not as airplane fuel. A very short patent, whose one illustration "does not pretend to show a practical structure but is a mere diagram for illustrating the broad principles of my invention by means of which the range of the machine will be increased." The airplane also uses standard petroleum fuel.
