Abstract of M.P.W.Boulton Patent No. 392, 1868
•A.D. 1868. No. 392.
BOULTON, Matthew Piers Watt. "PROPELLING AERIAL MACHINES."JETS of fluid are employed as the motive-power of aerial machines. The jet of fluid, steam for instance, issues towards 46 the hinder part of the vessel, which is shaped to offer but small resistance to the air. Various kinds of jets are described, which maybe employed as a supporting power by passing over the upper surface of a plane, thus reducing the pressure on its upper side, or the jets may be employed for propelling aeroplanes at an angle, which thus perform
mechanical flight. Mixtures of inflammable gases may be ignited in a receptacle and thus produce the required jet by its escape through a suitable orifice. Steam boilers are described having a large heating-surface. In order to prevent an aeroplane leaving the plane in which it is travelling, self-regulating mechanism is employed, consisting of two rudders and a balance-weight, which mechanism corrects the angle automatically. (Drawing.)
