A finales de 1960 VFW (Vereingte Flugtechnische Werke) construyó un autogiro experimental basado en el Bensen B.8M. Este VFW-H2 constaba de un inusual conducto en las palas para expulsar el aire por la puntera de las mismas suministrado por un motor McCulloch de 72 HP. El motor estaba montado detrás del piloto y el rotor constaba de dos palas. |

In the late-1960s, VFW (Vereingte Flugtechnische Werke) built an experimental open gyrocopter modelled on the Bensen B.8M. This VFW-H2 was unusual in having ducted rotor blade tip jets supplied from the 72hp McCulloch engine. The engine itself was mounted behind the pilot and drove a two-blade pusher propeller. |
