Photo Comment

First flown in 1950, the Horrnet light helicopter was propelled by rotor tip-mounted ramjets. It suffered from very high fuel consumption and noise levels. This example was also registered as N3781G and is on loan from the Classic Rotors Museum, Victorville, to the Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum
