New machine called an 'Aeron' consisting of three cylindrical balloons ("cyllindroids"); also uses aeroplanes. Propulsion created by the force of gravity and a system for shifting the vessel's weight.
- "The resistance on the top or bottom of the aerostat produced by the air on a surface much larger than the end of it prevents so rapid a movement in a perpendicular direction, and so it slides along on the atmosphere just as a sled slides down the side of a hill..."
Andrews built an actual vessel called the Aeron which he is credited with successfully flying—and navigating back to starting point—in 1862.
