Aerial machines without aerostats; planes, arrangement of.-In an aeroplane composed of a number of pivoted monoplane or multiplane elements arranged one behind the other and so connected together as to provide automatic longitudinal balance, the mechanism connecting the elements together is such that their movements about their pivots under the action of a disturbing wind vary from a minimum at the centre of the machine to a maximum at the front and rear ends. Fig. 8 shows a machine consisting of a number of biplane elements a<1> ... a<9> pivoted on a framework carrying a rudder u and aviator's seat s at one end and an engine t at the other end. When two engines are used, these are placed at opposite ends of the machine, and the aviator's seat is arranged near the centre of gravity. Fig. 10 shows n machine with the planes arched transversely. Steering and balancing; planes, construction of.-Longitudinal balance is obtained automatically by arranging supporting-planes a<1> ... a<6>, Fig. 1, pivoted at b<1> ... b<6>, one behind the other, and connecting them by rods c<1> . . . c‹ to a longitudinal bar f, Fig. 2, pivoted at a point o<1> about which the rods c<1> ... c‹ are symmetrical. Thus, when the machine encounters an air current tending to move the end a<6> downwards or the end a<1> upwards, the planes take up the positions indicated in dotted lines and introduce a righting-couple. In a modification, Fig. 4, the rods c<1> ... c<6> are connected by bell-cranks e' g' h<1> . . . e<6> g<6> h<6> to a rod i, which is free to move longitudinally, and is connected by a link k to a lever j by means of which the aviator may supplement the automatic action.
