A new rigid-rotor helicopter is exhibited at Palm Springs, California. Unlike other "choppers" it can roll, loop, fly upside down. Its designers claim it could even outmaneuver a fighter plane in a dogfight. Its stability makes it a perfect air-borne gun or rocket platform. Man walking over to a newly developed helicopter.
