Note that it also has a rear mounted propulsor and what may be wings mounted to the bottom of the fuselage.

Well, Sealord is quite right, so it isn't a heli, it is a compound

It's the P.514 "Rotorcoach" for 50 passengers.

No, Tagg/Wheeler gave this designation as a "hydrofoil equipped
motor boat" .
