From each side of the fuselage extends an elongated paddle-wheel driven by a 120-h.p. engine. Each paddle-wheel is composed of three blades to provide lift and forward thrust. The angle of each blade shifts as the whole wheel revolves, thus giving thrust in any direction desired by the pilot. Rate of the wheel at cruising speed: 400 r.p.m...
