Skywriting is the process of using a small aircraft, able to expel special smoke during flight, to fly in certain patterns as to create writing readable by someone on the ground.
Skywriting is never a permanent process - winds and dispersal of this smoke cause the writing to blur, usually rapidly. However special "skytyping" techniques have been developed to write in the sky in a dot-matrix fashion, to use the blurring effect to advantage. This method has not been widely used, however.
The present invention relates to a skywriting apparatus and especially to a skywriting apparatus for simultaneously releasing a plurality of vapor streams or puffs in a predetermined pattern to form an aerial message with one pass of the airplane.
In the past, skywriting has been employed by a variety of means, including having vapor or smoke generators attached to a plane and have the plane fly a predetermined pattern as the pilot released smoke or vapor to form the message in the pattern that the pilot was flying.
The present invention relates to a skywriting apparatus which is attached to an airplane and includes a plurality of vapor generator units attached in a spaced relationship to each other and supported by a winch attached cable to the airplane and by a spacing cable attached to the airplane.
