Observations on flight of gulls which indicated that wing top moves with cycloidal motion; analysis of this type of motion as it might be applied to propulsion of aircraft; various aspects of cycloidal propellers including their efficiency are discussed and their application to heavier-than-air and lighter-than-air craft is urged.
