This aircraft was an early single-seater cabin helicopter. It resembled a well known contemporary aircraft, but it was much smaller and its control principles were entirely different. The fuselage of the craft is about 4m in length. It is very much like a conventional airplane in shape, including a rudder The fuselage was built entirely of wood. Horizontal pylons, also of wood, for rotor mountings, extend outward from the fuselage about midway between nose and tail. The craft has a tricycle landing gear, two conventional wheels and a nose wheel. The wheels are all retractable into fuselage and pylons. It had two counter-rotating rotors, each with three blades which were unusual in their design. Built entirely of wood, the shells of the blades, shaped as airfoils, rotate about the spars. This rotation is actuated by small ailerons at the tips of the blades.
