Goodyear Inflatoplane! It inflated!
Taken from Wikipedia: 'Although it seemed an improbable project, the finished aircraft proved to be capable of meeting its design objectives, although its sponsor, the United States Army, ultimately cancelled the project when it could not find a "valid military use for an aircraft that could be brought down by a well-aimed bow and arrow".'

FAIREY ROTODYNE.
NOT A HELICOPTER, BUT INSTEAD USED SMALL EXPLOSIONS IN THE TIPS OF THE ROTATING PROPS TO SPIN THEM, WHICH HAD THE SIDE EFFECT OF NEGATING THE NEED FOR A TAIL ROTOR.

Son Nut?

FCK if I know. But it's basically got the exact same planform as an F-2 or the agile falcon tier of F-16s, but with two engines and F-18 intakes, like an F-2 and an F-18 had a child.
