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.

Hmmm.

So, maybe i can't beat ugliest, that one is impressive!

But i think i may have the most bizarre.

All helicopters are ugly.

Get a fix wing.

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 !!!:ooh:
