The Marchetti SV-20 compound helicopter project. I believe this to be from the same Charles Marchetti company that did the Heliscope project three posts above; however I don't know if this company is related in any way to Savoia-Marchetti and SIAI-Marchetti from Italy, since it seems to be a defunct Canadian company.

Well this is confusing to me because I always thought there was only ONE Marchetti.

I have more studying to do...

Not quite sure if this belongs in the "little-known rotorcraft" section or the humor section... Anyway, here's a man-powered helo that... er... never took off!

On the cover of its August 1966 issue, AIR PROGRESS asked the question:

Can a copter be beautiful? See Single-seat "Javelin"

I realize how much of a mistake it was making such a general topic. I encourage separate topics for projects that don't fit into normal manufacturers' categories.
