Question J A T O for helicopters?

When I read the trade press about latest news on helicopters here in the USA, Groen Bros. new gyroplane comes up.
They claim their [jump takeoff] gyroplane can do everything a genuine helo does except hover.

BUT there is one other USA manufacturer who has a new model. I cannot think of the company - can anyone in the UK help out? They are developing + testing either a helicopter or gyroplane with ramjets at the tips of the rotorblades - and the blades are made from depleted uranium so that the rotorblades will have a flywheel effect. Does anyone have a clue who the company is?? They have been around for awhile, they're not some backyard inventors. Sing out if you've heard of them, thanks.
