The VFW-Fokker H3 Sprinter was a single-engined experimental rotorcraft designed and built in West Germany.

Two aircraft were produced by VFW-Fokker in the early 1970s, registered D-9543 and D-9544.

Intended as the first of a family of tip-jet driven helicopters the two H3 prototypes flew briefly but the method of rotor propulsion was found to be unsuccessful for this size of aircraft.

D-9543 is currently on display at the Hubschraubermuseum Bückeburg[2] with the other H3 thought to be in a private collection in Germany.
