- Inside The $750,000 Hill HX50 Private Helicopter
This is the Hill HX50, the world's first fully private helicopter. Set up by Dr. Jason Hill, an engineer and keen helicopter pilot, the company was established with the lofty goal of building ‘the world’s first truly ground-up helicopter since the invention of rotorcraft flight.’ The company's first proposed model is the HX50, an undeniably good-looking machine that offers both outstanding luxury and incredible performance.
Unlike helicopters designed for fleet operators, the HX50 is specifically crafted for private owners seeking a personalized flying experience.
The HX50 combines customization with impressive performance: it features a three-blade rotor system and a powerful in-house GT50 turboshaft engine, delivering 400 horsepower, a cruise speed of 140 knots, and a range of up to 700 nautical miles.
The base purchase price for a new Hill HX50 is £595,000, or about $750,000 before options.
But can this machine really sell for only $750,000? Here is everything you need to know about the Hill HX50.

I hope flight schools adopt this as a trainer. She's gorgeous! Looks like a baby Airwolf! A real powerball toy!

What happened to the 650k mark?
Seems like at least for now the price is 595,000 GBP, which is about 750,000 USD
Does it fly?
Not yet
Unfortunately they still don't have a running engine to put into the helicopter. They are still trying to figure out n test various fuel burns to reach their promised specs. N with over 900 promises to people that have already prepaid for an hx50 they haven't even had a test flight. They are a long way off from reaching their 2025 delivery to the 900 that already bought one
A Oceanco Esquel with a Hill HX50. Perfect match 💎💙
