Patent US-1905-839548
Multiple wedge-shaped LTA balloons with propellers directly attached; flat bottoms, thin ends outward: acting as aeroplanes; possible supplemental balloon for heavy load. "The invention has for its object the production of an air-ship which will form minimum resistance to the wind-currents, whereby the control of the same is rendered possible. A further object is to so locate the cabin or other place for the accommodation of passengers or freight as to afford the least possible resistance to the buoyancy of the air-ship. A further object is to so position said cabin as to protect the same from the wind and other air currents, where by the drag of the air currents upon depending cages is obviated. A further object is to provide means for assisting the air-ship in its initial movement incident to elevation and light. A further object is to produce an airship which combines the principles of the dirigible balloon and the aeroplane."
