Giroz Tilt-Propeller VTOL Helicoplane Project

My dear Jemiba spoke about it before;

I quote from him;

The turbo-electric aircraft is quite an old idea, although I have severe doubts about
the feasibility of the shown Giroz Hélicoplane, a kind of tilt-wing VTOL:
(from Science & Vie 1949)

And here I was thinking that Karem was being original all these years.

An electric transmission ? Why not ! Around the same time, we had diesel-electric locomotives and Berliet with its TX40 made a dumper with this type of propulsion ! Nowadays we fly pure electric light aircraft, but like by hybrid car why not a helicopter or a convertible ? Remains to be seen if a market could exist ... 75 years ago it seems that this was not the case ... As for Berliet, his dumper also remained unique !
