General Electric jet-propelled helicopter (1943)

boxkite · 29 March 2009

Again, Uttley's "Westland and the British Helicopter Industry 1945-1960" is the source, where I found a helicopter project which is unknown to me. The General Electric jet-propelled helicopter has been designed in 1943 (unknown date of cancellation).

Does anybody know something more on this project?

Never heard of it before. Can't have gotten too far.

Any landing you can walk away from, is a good one.
