I don't know if dune is good or not because as an aviation enthusiast I can't get past the idea that ornithopters would become mainstream.
If you want a cool obscure aircraft use a gyroplane or GEV or something actually practical.

And a little close-up on the dramatis personae. The autogyro was modelled after a Cierva C. 30/Avro Rota I from 1934, only with a slightly more powerful 9-cylinder engine.

The ‘Breguet Gyroplane Laboratoire’ of 1933 is often regarded as the world's first truly functional helicopter. Thanks to it, from 1935 onwards, Louis Breguet covered a distance of 44 km, made flights lasting more than an hour and established numerous world firsts in helicopters.

In 1939, the SNCASE began work on a 3-seater liaison gyroplane, the SE-700. It had a modern appearance for its time, with a smooth, neat fuselage, an enclosed cabin and a tricycle landing gear. WWII delayed the programme and the aircraft did not make its maiden flight until 1945.

the French Dorand Gyroplane G.20, circa 1947. designed pre-WW2, and intended to be submarine-launched(!) it was largely ignored by the Germans when discovered. some post-war ground testing ocurred but it was by then obsolete
(the initial plans for the included a gunner in a drum in the rotor mast!)

![black and white photo of an exotic helicopter on front of a hangar, with Sté [Société] Française du Gyroplane” written above the closed doors. the central fuselage is round and sleek, tapering into a very flat V-tail. the front third of the fuselage features a heavily-glazed rounded nose cockpit, behind which is a very nifty retractable undercarriage. the contra-rotating rotors look surprisingly long, and the bulky rotor shaft is notable](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:f2trqxhae57dglchmylrdo3y/bafkreicgsm7twrd3met43inxkeikwdledhl6bkfiroasraqfx7o4s2blcq@jpeg)
