Patent GB-1908-17370
Classifying this liberally as an "airplane" because the lift comes from forward movement created by a propeller sending air across flat surfaces. However, these surfaces are "sails", and there are many of them,
The object of this arrangement is, on the one hand, to enable the greatest possible total sail surface to be got into the smallest possible space, and on the other hand to suspend the driving motor within the flying apparatus so elastically that the vibrations produced by the motion of the motor shall be distributed uniformly over the whole frame-work; and that any blows on the outer rings sustained in landing or by falling of the machine shall not be transmitted directly to the motor and air navigator.
