Another weight shift helicopter.  The idea has been around since
Lilienthal

They did a good job on this one.

"Otto Lilienthal (23 May 1848 – 10 August 1896) was a German pioneer
of aviation  who became known as the /Glider King He was the first
person to make well-documented, repeated, successful gliding flights
Newspapers and magazines published photographs of Lilienthal gliding,
favorably influencing public and scientific opinion about the
possibility of flying machines becoming practical. On August 9, 1896,
his glider stalled and he was unable to regain control. Falling from
about 15 m (50 ft), he broke his neck and died the next day, 10
August, 1896."
