Looks like an twist on the gyrocopter.

You know, I'm generally a Europhile and down with the European experiment but I would like someone in the parliament to bring a motion that ban the use of the word 'Euro' as a prefix to everything. It's silly.

Having said that, it's a funky looking helicopter - even if it does look a wee bit like a lynx with jet engines glued onto the sides.

See, that's much cooler. I can imagine Dan Dare riding that to his space ship launch site.
