The Bensen Midjet is a vehicle that utilizes two ramjets on the tips of the rotors to provide lift. The vehicle was based on the Bensen B-6 gyroglider.

Bensen claimed that the vehicle could lift up to four times its own weight. Initial tests were conducted in 1954 as a military prototype.

The MidJet name combined "Midget" and "Jet."
