Experimental wing tip jet

302k WinsWings  2.5 years ago

This is not a regular helicopter rotor blade, it is wings joined to the rotator with the jet engine at the tip to make the rotation.

This is a concept test. I encourage you to try this - This is not a completed aircraft, just a part of a test.

Inspired by the Hiller YH-32 Hornet, the helicopter with tip-jet
