Multi-section gas bag; movable hull can be reshaped based on these sections; legs; rudder with two axes
[...] both the car or hull and the gas-bag are composed of a plurality of jointed sections, the adjacent sections of the hull and bag being connected together, forming the ship into a plurality of sectional parts movable in relatively different planes, whereby considerable flexibility is afforded, making it possible to change the direction of flight both horizontally and vertically, with facility.
Different parts of the vessel, including the legs on which it rests on the ground, can be 'telescoped' to reduce size. The legs, in particular, are on springs, to reduce the impact of landing.
