My invention relates toimprO'Vements in l l. combination hydro-auto-helicopter, m Which v a'rplurality "of vacuumH propellers are at- I i tached to a bodyyer'tical orotherwise, rigid or adjustable; (in this` case adjustable) said `j 4body provided Witlrtwo or more folding f Wings or planes on each side, that may be i L turned vertically or horizontally, or folded '5U Mirenfsfajafres een rfpEn-awoi l i naves, orLirTLn i -iintofiliTmailciriiiaf 'i i' fvith spiral' :Ap'rpellerblad 20', Dt'ivlliclrlis driven by pulley and lbeltl connected to an engine. y"

F ig. 3, shows/'cylinder 14:, equipped With spiral propeller blade 20, Which is driven by bevel gearing 21; and connected to an engine; an adjustable Wing is attached to the plane; the .propellershown in Fig. 3, is mountedk on fthe, body the same as the 'propeller "shown "ini-l1? igf2;- a headlight- 13, in front and 'fuel tank '12 is arranged at back; and at the side 'two or more folding planes 4,' attached to arm by Wrist joint 5, so that planes may be turned perpendicularly or horizontally, or folded 'back ,fama sanitarief t u,

c with springs and air pump shockiabsorbers; i j y -f t -.m"; l andthe jobjects of my improvements are, rst, to provide a body that can be pro l j` Y pelled on the Water, land or in the air; secagainst side of vessel as shown by dotted lines in Fig. 1;,a folding tail and rudder 6, Y ycan be folded up on top of body 1, as shown in Fig. l; four ,Wheels lwith steering gear in ond, to pro-vide said body with a plurality of vacuum propellers attached to the body vertically or otherwise to propel the mavi' chine on Water, land or in the air, vertically,

forward, backward or in a circle; two or Vmore folding Wings on each side; and fold- -l ing tail and rudder with controls; and four .y #/fwh'eelsvith steering gear in front for operating said machine; and third, to reduce the v-Tdanger in'` rising and landing perpendicularly, by 'use of the vacuum propeller, the adjustable Wings, the adjustable tail and rudder and spring beam axle support.

vatt-ain these objects by the mechanism illustrated 'iiiV the accompanying drawing,4 in whichq f. 40

Fig. l, is a syide'elevationA ofthe entire machine; Fig. 2, a detailed section of one form of propeller; Fig. 3,ayertical section showing the iving' and spiral propeller construction. l 'Y Similar numerals refer to similar parts throughout the several views.

The body 1', and cabstop, with sloping boat bottom 3, and bar at outer edge of propellers attached to body and cab by brace 50 arms constitute the frame work of the machine.

A plurality of Vacuum propellers 2, at

""A-.ftached to body 1, at bottonx with swivel 17,

Where crank shaft 19 enters cylinder 1l,

with top attached to control stick T, by means of a. shifting bar, cable and pulley,

front are mounted on ailles; said axles being connected to support beams 8, at their lower ends, the beams being attached to the body; and providedwvitlrspring 9, and shock absorber 10, at top end; a pontoon at bottom of cylinders on each side shown by dotted hydro-auto-air ships have been made to i run on Water, land orin the air. I therefore do not claim sucl1 a combination broadly; but 4 I claim:

A combination hydro-auto-helicopter, comprising abodlvy'with cab and sloping boat bottom; a. plurality of vacuum propellers adjustably attached to the body; said vacuum propellers comprising a cylinder; said cylinder provided with a. spiral propeller blade which isconnected by means of bevel gearing to be driven by an engine; said propeller cylinders'connected below to the body by a 'swivel 'Where the drive shat't enters the cylinder; a bar at the top of the cylinder connected to a control stick, so top of propeller may stand perpendicular, or be moveduyforward or backward tyvoor more adjustable 'Winge on each side of the body mounted by a Jomt and arm adj11stable5to' stand perpendicular when ascending or-hrizontal when flying forward, orrfbepfolded beain-` axle support at lower 'end said beam connected" to the'body," and 'provided with vsprings 'and air pump shock absorbers above; "a pontoon 'on' each side below the cylinders A awside `shield With door, and a flange beback against the side of vesselvhenrun'"tween the-cylinders that closes the space ning on land or Water 01'o r.hqus ing; a folding tall and rudder wlth hinge on top automatically when descending perpendicvula'rlyg`e'adjustable s iral blade propeller` and latch belqw, soas to fold, up Qn `top of attached to front end o Afuselage and one to bodygivhe'n used;` on Watero1'. ,land orA 4for housing; ;fou1 .Wheels `under fthe body' connected Wjth-steering gear; f said Wheels mounted on axles, said axles Iattached to s ide backend, drijven by pulley and belt connected to nengine, or'turninglnachine' `to right orvleft or parking same sidewisel graaf" 1
