Monte-Copter Model 12, N68P, c/n 1, during a flight demonstration at an unidentified date and location, though most
likely in the Northwest U.S. as the factory was Seattle, Wash., based. Powered by two 160 shp Continental 140 air compressors (license-built Turboméca Palouste).
These engines were mounted on each side of the fuselage and supplied compressed air to the rotor-tip nozzles to turn the rotor.
The aircraft is currently owned by the Classic Rotors Museum in Ramona, California.
