Bensen Mid-Jet
The Bensen Mid-Jet (a pun on "Midget jet") was a small helicopter developed by Igor Bensen in the United States in the early 1950s in the hope of attracting the interest of the United States Navy. It was a single-seat, open framework machine based on the B-5 rotor kite with small, gasoline- or fuel oil-burning ramjets mounted as tipjets on the rotor blades.[1] Tests carried out in 1954 showed it to be able to lift four times its own weight and cruise at 75 mph (120 km/h).
