How about the NHI 'Kolibri' (hummingbird), an unsuccessful Dutch design circa 1956? I've heard this helicopter had no H/V curve due to its tip-jet propulsion. It also had a less than twenty minute endurance on full tanks, so presumably one would need its autorotation capability at the end of most flights.
