What was the design of the rotor tip jets? Were they ram jets or did they have any moving parts?

They were not ram jets, they were fed with air from the compressor via the central hub. This gave them less drag than a ramjet as well as a higher compression ratio, and meant that they ran at zero speed.WolfKeeper 22:21, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
