Size, arrangement, and pressure-jet system seem very similar to the skeletal XR-17/XH-17 crane.

This artist's conception of the Howard Hughes 205 twin-turbine-powered helicopter represents a stage in rotor-craft design which may be much nearer than we think. It would have a seating capacity for 70 passengers, a range of 200 miles and would cruise at over 100 m.p.h. A "skeleton" prototype began its trials last year. A revolving lift is installed aft, for baggage stowage.

I'd be happy if anyone provides additional drawings of the Model 205.
