Gluhareff established a development company in 1952 to carry out
research into pressure-jet powered
light helicopters. He built the MEG-1X personal strap-on helicopter rig which used a single-blade rotor with a tip-
mounted G8-2 engine and followed this with the MEG-2X which had a two-blade rotor. His final design was the MEG-3X which was based on a dish-shaped platform on which the pilot would
stand and a two-blade rotor revolving underneath the platform. No
commercial development was undertaken.
