Boeing-Vertol Rotafix Concept

[Mark Nankivil]

Good Day All -

From the July 25, 1966 issue of AvWeek, Boeing-Vertol Rotafix VTOL transport concept. Rotors are single blade/counterweight and when stopped, act as a wingtip extension.

Enjoy the Day! Mark

Thanks, Mark.
Finally, after all these years this is first ever sensible explanation for the single blade/counterweight configuration.
