BANGERTER’S AIRSHIP, THE STAR.
Mr. Bangerter conceived the plans of his airship in 1898 and deposited the plans in France in March, 1905.
By his principles the basket, engine and traveler being about fifteen feet below the planes, it is an absolute impossibility for it to turn turtle, either by wind or storm. The four planes automatically acting as parachutes in case of descending. This airship can rise vertically and keep steady at any height, permitting the dropping of explosives with accuracy after having aimed and regulated its position.
