Granted: 1910-10-20
Abstract: 11,355. Schmitt, P. May 7, 1909, [Convention date]. Aerial machines without aerostats; steering and balancing.-In order to maintain the longitudinal stability of aeroplane machines for all changes in the angle of incidence of the supporting - planes between zero and, say, 18 degrees, the whole apparatus to be supported by the planes is mounted on a frame which is hung from the supporting-planes and connected thereto by controlling-gear in such a way that as the controlling-gear is operated to adjust the planes, the centre of gravity of the machine is automatically moved so as always to lie in a vertical line passing through the centre of pressure of the planes, thus obviating the necessity of providing a tail or horizontal rudder. The invention is shown by way of example as applied to a biplane machine comprising planes 1, 11 connected together by framing 2, 6 as shown. The remainder of the machine is mounted on a framework comprising three triangular frames 7, 8, 9 connected together and fixed to a shaft 4 which is mounted in bearings 5 carried by the frames 6. The controlling-gear comprises a screw 14 which is mounted in the central triangular frame 7, 8, 9 and works in a nut 18 which is connected to rods 19 pivoted at 20 to the framing of the supporting-planes. The screw is operated by means of sprocket gear 16, 17 and a hand-wheel 15. Fig. 5 shows the relative positions of the apparatus when the angle of incidence is zero. By rotating the screw 14, the frame 7, 8, 9 and the nut 18 are moved in opposite directions, thereby increasing the angle of incidence and simultaneously moving the centre of gravity rearwards as shown in Fig. 6, the position of the pivot 4 in the machine being calculated according to a method described in the Specification so that the rearward movement of the frame 7, 8, 9 is such as to maintain the centre of gravity directly under the centre of pressure. The Specification in its original form, as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a), comprises also the following subject - matter. Lateral rudders 21, 22, Fig. 7 (Cancelled), for steering horizontally are connected by a cord 23, by means of which the aviator can pull one or other of the rudders out of the normal position in the line of flight, thereby retarding the forward motion of the machine at that side. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
