Georges de Vastey G-2

Also a helicopter by Gerard Georges de Vastey. Blade tip propulsion by means of the simplest, valveless and thus defect-insensitive Schmidt-Argus tubes in various arrangements. The Schmidt-Argus tubes represent a similar propulsion system to that of the so-called "Vergeltungswaffe" V-1 (actually Fieseler 103) from World War II.

Since G1 and G2 were only used for engine testing, they remained grounded.
