Hill’s professionalism, attention to detail and amazing innovation never ceases to amaze me. This all must be costing an astronomical amount of money! Wow! Really amazing and exciting to be able to watch your progress in real time. Thank you!
QUESTION: Due to all of the various rules, regulations, codes, red-tape, etc. in the UK, have you ever considered or contemplated moving this whole operation to the USA? Just curious if this has ever been something you’ve pondered. Thank you again! Godspeed!!!
The US has a lot of red tape also and getting worse every day.
Hey Brown shirt buddy - (@ the end of vid), you should consider mentioning the user questions that have already been answered then tell the viewers you'll be doing a recap on the things that have not changed at the end of the video. This would save the main dude some time and let him focus on the new stuff. You may be concerned that you will misquote main dude, but you can easily use ai to look up his exact quote on the fly and/or use ai to summarize things. Just my thoughts. AI is what I do these days. Not complaining about your production quality though. you guys do a fantastic job over there. Have a good one and see ya next time.
Love this format! The video is very in depth and we get a look behind the curtain. Interviews with the Hill employees and their contribution to the project are awesome!
@25:00 brilliant UI UX work bro. Exactly what I would have expected from these guys. Love it man. Design inspiration for designers here.
This is fantastic news and PC 1 is a great project and just what our town needs. Some proper innovation right in the centre of the UK. Well done can’t wait to see more.
Hi always good to see all you guys but particularly good to see the great updates.
Having an option to remove the 'blue light' from the digi cockpit for nighttime use, much how a Mac or iPad does, would be a benefit on the eyes.
Hi team - will there be an automated autorotation assisted digital warning systems to help with the RPM and cyclic control and digital screen with ground scanning to guide pilots where to land safely especially at night? This will help guide pilots to face into wind and avoid difficult to see power linens wires or gates..
Will there be an option to have night vision googles or night vision HUD to for night navigation to view ground terrain and obstacles ?
Also where will the rating training takes place? And how many hours is required for the rating ? And what will the cost be?
Are there any pre requisite POH ?
Can we get it an AirWolf livery?
Hello Misha and Ruben
Another quick question: Do you have any ideas for a military and/or law enforcement version?
How many square metres is PC1? Looks like a decent size. Maybe a rooftop helipad could be installed.
Talk about the reliability and durability
Amazing that you are a expert Probally never done much but criticized the experts
Lol. Hope your day gets better buddy.
Have you tested with nvg's?
X to C would be down grade not up grade
Although it’s incredible it makes no sense to develop your own engine for one helicopter, unless you are going to sell it.
Makes sense to me actually, but it's ok if you don't think so.
The cost of development and certification of the engine have to be offset by only one helicopter. Not speaking about the effort to do all at the same time, helicopter, engine, avionics. In the video it all seems to be nice and lovely but I am sure in reality they have to go through the “hell” until everything works in serial production.
This is chopper isn't just going to be the best value helicopter on the market, it's going to be the next helicopter at an incredibly high value price point. I'm going to sound like a ridiculous fan boy here, but dude. Product creator envy here. Product company of the year award. Show students this is what good business and design innovation looks like in the real world (rare AF). All that. Mic dropped.
