context_page_description: The Doblhoff/WNF 342 was the first helicopter to take off and land using tip jets to drive the rotor.
context_section_description: V1/V2: The first helicopter was initially powered by a 60 horsepower (45 kW) engine (V1) and then a 90 horsepower (67 kW) engine (V2)—both by Walter Mikron.  It first flew in 1943, and was captured with V4 at Zell am See.
  V3:  The second WNF 342 had a larger rotor and was destroyed during testing.
  V4:  The last unit produced was a two-seat variant with new collective and cyclic controls.  After 25 flight hours it was captured by United States forces and on July 19, 1945, shipped to the US under Operation Lusty on HMS Reaper (D82).
