- invention uses a body suit for the operator to wear the glider; triangular tail parts in the back; wings set parallel but staggered (one a little higher) to prevent interference; also uses a spring to regulate the shape of the wings; also specifies fore-aft wing movement for navigation but not up-down; specifies <55 lbs.; "The aeroplane can glide upon their air two ways only -- viz, by a fall from a height sufficient to procure a speed which shall cause the air to support the apparatus or by a skillful utilization of the force of the wind, which must blow at least ten miles an hour to enable the aeroplane to operate."
- Note long approval time — some intrigue relating to Chanute & Chanute's glider approved the same day?; similar specific reference to birds soaring without flapping
- Inventor location, of Octave Chanute, that is, (imputed by HistPat): Chicago, Cook county, IL (FIPSloc=17031)
- (Louis-Pierre Mouillard identifies as a citizen of the Republic of France, residing in Cairo, Egypt)
