| The Hiller Flying Platform was a unique
VTOL (Vertical Takeoff and Landing) machine developed back in the 1950's
by Hiller Helicopter. It was a circular ducted fan unit that utilized
2 counter-rotating propellers. A pilot would stand on top of the unit
and by leaning and shifting his body weight he could cause the platform
to fly in any direction. Includes patent copy and photos. Much of our
flying jetpack development was based on this unit. #HILL info-$10.00 |
