To all whom t may concern.'
Be it known that I, HENRY JANDER, a citizen of the United States of America, ren siding at Brooklyn, Kings county, State of New' York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Airships, of which the following is a specilication.
This invention relates to improvements in air-ships, the object being to provide an air-ship consisting of a dirigible balloon and monoplane..
My improved air-ship is arranged to prevent, to a large extent, the increase of air pressure `at the front thereof.
A further feature oi fly invention resides in the employment oi' Vbilance Wheels which prevent rolling, dipping and shaking.
A still further feature of my invention resides in the employment of air turbines which operate dynamos to regenerate the exhausted power.l
I will now proceed to describe my invention in detail, the essential features of which Will be summarized in the appended claims, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part hereof, wherein:
Figure 1 is a front elevation of my improved airship; Fig. 2 is a rear elevation thereof; Fig. 3 is a side elevation; Fig. 4 is a cross-sectional View, the section being taken on a line 4 4 in Fig. 3; 5 is a cross-sectional view', the section being talren on a line 5-5 in Fig. 3; Fig, 6 is a vertical sectional View, the section being taken on a line 6-6 in. Fig. 7 Fig. 7 is a sectional plan View, the section being taken 0n a line 7-7 in Fig. 6; and Fig. 8 is a longitudinal central sectional view.
My im roved air-ship is made up of a. suitable ramework 1 carrying a centrally located longitudinally disposed cylindrical channel C Within which are located turbines E, E, adjacent to which are located deflectors P, P; (Fig. 7). The turbines E, E, are located in circular Wells or pockets 2, 2, so that only a portion of the vanes protrude into the channel C. The deflectors l?, P, are beveled and direct the air against the pro truding vanos of the turbines E, E as it passes or' is forced through the channel C by the propellers H and I (Fig. 3).
The Propellers H and I are each driven by motors J and J', the motor J being for a forward motion and the motor J for a reverse motion, both motors in each instance being connected a shaft 3 by any suitable Specification of Letters Patent.

clutch mechanism. Each shaft' gear 4 meshing with a gear 5 vertical shaft 6 carrying a ea with a gear 8 on the shaft whi the propeller H. The propeller .ipcrated by the same arrangement ot gears and ing as the propeller H.
The'forward end of the channel C ter minates in a conical funnel die the rear end in a funnel B, the tunnel `ing placed therein vertically disease ing-planes M, M, for ho and a horizontally disp f N for vertical steering, operated by a compresse1.y shown.
lVithin the funnel A, I pla which are used to il ground or direct it toward the ground. planes O, U can be manipulated in any sirable manner.
The air-ship is provided with Q; and W at the front and rear tllereoiior can rying a supply of gas-clone and Water. The air-ship is also provided with compartmei a, l), c, el, e, and f, which are filled with drogen gas.
The landing gear of my improved ship consists of wheels l0 suitably mou in ball bearings and cushioned by spiral springs.
Access to the interior ci the ship is had through domes S communicating with a gangvvay R, which in turn has in communi- 'i shaft or passageway L.
carried by a shaft 19 operated b-y an electric motor (not shown). Each shaft I9 carries a fly-Wheel G, and each shaft 6 for the propellers H and I is also provided with a horizontally disposed ily-Wheel F. The vertical shafts for the turbines E also carry hori zontally disposed iiy-wheels F (see Figs. G and 8), the aforesaid fly-vvheels tending to steally the air-ship When in motion.
force air through the channel C, thus aiding the balloon portions ot the .ed bv shaftpropeller H in the funnel A acts to 4 fill@ to operate the turbines E, Il, which in turn transmit power to the dynanios D, Fig. 6.
The propeller I draws the air from the channel C and directs it to the steering apparatus M and N, thereby causing the air-` ship to respond promptly to the steering apparatus and relieving the propeller H from a certain amount of worlr.
The defiector P directs the air to the outer edge of the exposed portions of the turbines E, E where it will exert the most power.
The fiy-wheelSG are located near the sides of the air-ship, and away from the center thereof.
Having now described vmy invention, what l claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
1. In an airship, a buoyant body provided with a channel extending longitudinally through said body, a turbine within said channel, and a deiector adjacent said turbine arranged to direct air toward the periphery of said turbine.
2. In an air-ship, a buoyant body provided with a channel extending longitudinally thereof, said channel beingr provided with wells or pockets, turbines located within said channel` and extending into said wells or pockets, and means within said channel arranged to direct air toward the periphery of that part of said turbines that extends into said channel. il
. .t 3. In an air-ship, a buoyant body provided with ay channel extending longitudinally through said body, a turbine within said channel, a deflector adjacent said turbine arranged to direct air toward the periphery of said turbine, and propellers located at each end of said channel.
4. In an air-ship, a buoyant body provided with a channel extending longitudinally thereof, turbines within said'channel, shafts therefor, and fly-wheels carried by said shafts.
.5. In an air-ship, a buoyant body provided with a channel extending longitudinally thereof, turbines within said channel,l shafts therefor, fly-wheels carried by said shafts, a propeller at each end of said channel, propellers located on each side of said buoyant body, driven shafts to operate said propellers, driving shafts to operate said driven shafts, and fiy-wheels carried by the said driving shafts.
G. In an air-ship, a buoyant body, hori zontally disposed planes extending from the sides thereof, a horizontally disposed iywheel located centrally of said air-ship, and a plurality of vertically disposed fiy-wheels located at each side of the buoyant body.
7. In an air-ship, a buoyant body provided with a centrally disposed channel e ;tending longitudinally through said body portion, said lchannel terminating at each end thereof in a conical funnel, turbines located within said channel, a. propeller located in each conical funnel, and means Within the channel to deiiect the: air toward the center thereof and toward the periphery of said turlbines.
