Found another



The Fiat 7002

General purpose experimental helicopter using the cold-jet propulsion system. The compressed air ejected by the blade-tip nozzles was provided by a 530hp Fiat 4700 turbogenerator.

I once have heard a fixed wing pilot theory saying that if helicopters could fly, it was only because earth was rejecting them due to their ugliness !!!
