The second of five XH-26 helicopters built. Powered by an American Helicopter XJ49-AH-3 pulsejet on each rotor tip (red cylinder on right side of photo) each producing 35 lbs. of thrust. It performed well but was very noisy and the blade tip motor location precluded engine out autorotations. It was not put into production.
