French-built light helicopter. The Djinn was not powered by rotortips mounted-Marbore (these ones being the jet engines used to power the Fouga Magister so much, much larger than a Djinn blade tip!), but by compressed air provided by a Palouste turbogenerator and ducted all the way through the blades. So very noisy, high fuel burn and amazing power-to-weight ratio for the only jet-powered helicopter to have ever entered production.
