Fast compound Apache as a incarnation of Cheyenne is really exotic :)

H.I. Sutton does nice work
When the French submarine Surcouf entered service in 1934 it was the first in the world with an aircraft capability designed-in. It’s compact MB.411 floatplane, which folded to fit inside the integral hangar, was a work of art. But French aviation designer René Dorand had an even more ingenious solution to deploying aircraft from submarines: a helicopter!

Pitcairn 'helicopter-autogiro' concepts from the '60s.
Pitcairn started using the term for compound helicopters in the mid-'30s,
at the same time Cierva-Weir started using the term 'gyrodyne' for the
same kind of machine. Post-war the work at Cierva-Weir was taken up
at Fairey.

This PDF (https://pdhonline.com/courses/m502/m502slideshow.pdf) has a collection of old school - failed - wingless aircraft designs and others that haven't really been successful on aircraft, like the cyclowing. Some were intensely stupid (http://blog.modernmechanix.com/strange-lifting-force-used-in-novel-airship/), and were probably a grift on the naive and dumb.

That reminds me of the land, air and sea vehicle from The Three Stooges in Orbit (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Three_Stooges_in_Orbit)

It has been done before. (http://beyondthesprues.com/Forum/index.php?topic=1597.0;all)
An earlier iteration also had tracks:

The Cierva C.30 (and licence built variants) has always looked right to me. I suppose a similar arrangement could be built on many fixed wing fuselages.

SARO P.220 concepts based on the P.531. The P.531 became the Westland Scout which in turn became the
Wasp.

That looks even wilder than the hypothetical KA-58 that Zvezda/Italieri did in 1/72.

That's going to be one noisy vehicle.
