Stanley Hiller was a child genius he demonstrated a flying helicopter to US Army when he was a teenager a remarkable feat that remains undefeated till this date.
The Hiller YROE-1 timing was wrong, at least for the civilian market. If the Hiller YROE Helicopter was introduced today I believe it would be widely sought after. The nearest aircraft found today would be the Mosquito ultralight helicopter. I'm in the process of building a prototype that will be modeled after the Hiller YROE.
When you finish please share with me...i would like one like this myself. are you doing it on CAD?
Completely Agree - I want one!
I remember when I was 12 I was going to build something like this, I had the idea of how to do it, the design and everything but the kids on my block laughed at me so I stopped.
That was back when I was living in Mexico I was so into building stuff, I started at 6 building toys but I don't know what went wrong in my life that I stopped, I also used to have dreams about the things I wanted to build and how to do it.
Good old days
a born engineer. I hope you made it into the trade.
You probably moved to America land of broken dreams.
We just need factory workers, not being racist all colors are held down.

Similar story. In the early 1980's I designed several different multi-rotor 'helicopters' but quit the project due to money (I was flat broke except for the 'dream') and I was -- unfortunately -- stuck within friends and family who were "dream killers." Fast forward to today, and I see my designs flying any number of drones that are now moving on to becoming the personal transportation of the future. But, back then, I didn't have any of the computer technology of gyro-stabilization, engine synchronization, etc. So, had I built a prototype, I'd have probably died due to lack of redundancies when it crashed.
Imagine getting air dropped one of these, secretly putting it together so as not to give away your position, then noisily and slowly taking off, possibly crashing the damn thing as it’s probably difficult AF to fly. Can’t imagine why this never caught on.
Plans for building these were advertised all over the back of boys life magazines in the 80s
Yes, I bought a set! Problem was there was not enough info in the plans & diagrams were incomplete to actually do it, likely for liability reasons.
My dad worked for Saunders Roe at Eastleigh (Southampton Airport) in the South of Britain. These were there for evaluation and testing by one particular pilot, Harry Phillips ?? if I recall correctly, and he was badly burned in an accident whilst flying one of these. I remember being intrigued that it was designed for commando type operations. This would have been early sixties. I was a hangar kid who struck lucky many times when one of the pilots would notice me and say "fancy a flip old boy?" My lifelong love of flying stemmed from those flights, still flying my Foxbat these days. 😎
We have never heard about the accident. We have three Rotorcycles in our collection. Thanks for sharing your experiences.
@@HillerAviationMuseum Saunders Roe at Eastleigh maintained and test flew Skeeter, Scout and Wasp helicopters for the Army and Navy. I sometimes accompanied my Dad on Saturday mornings when he went into work. I was fortunate to have had rides in the Skeeter and Scout. I still remember the smell 😎
…that would be a cool experimental aircraft kit.
Спасибо Вам за это видео! Очень долго искал его
Nice fantástic Hiller and her projects
Very cool !!
The original mosquito air. Lol
"insect like"
В СССР когда-то разработали вертолёт, который умещался в торпеде - Ка-56.
If one was made today it would weigh below 100 pounds and have well over 100 miles range even with a very small fuel tank
You would have a job making one weighing under 100 lbs I seen one.theres a lot in it.
@@peterwithers8945 I mean with current "exotic" materials and current combustion engine technology it wouldn't be difficult to make. Of course assuming cost isn't an issue.
The vast majority of the weight would be the fuel
@@GewelReal That is a extraordinary claim how did you come to that conclusion?
@@GewelReal,
🟦 I'm unable to imagine the fuel weighing more than either the craft itself or the person flying it.
Making one today, you really couldnt improve on it much.
Wou nice oke punya
*Cool.*
Where can buy it?
This could have being game changing had they kept producing and improving it
Bruh quick releases
Are these the helicopters advertised in the back of Popular Mechanics??
Who can I contact about learning more about this amazing machine? Would it be possible to license the design? Modern companies are trying to reinvent this wheel, might as well start here
Neat idea to put this into production for the homebuilt aircraft market . Have you seen this? ruclips.net/video/GKBNTP6D1ag/видео.html . Have you heard of the French guy flying the English cannel on a flying platform ?
Dig this ruclips.net/video/FoW-19mdy4g/видео.html . What a world we live in huh?
This was built over 50 yrs ago by Hiller Corp with an unlimited budget and factory built with castings etc. A lot went into it. building a small helicopter is one thing but this is collapsible and can be carried by 2 men that's what makes it special.and can be transported on a pick up truck.copying this would be an engineering task and expensive even with modern materials it would be heavy..
The only way it would be cheap is mass production and that isn't going to happen. Goverment wouldnt allow it it's too practical !
@@peterwithers8945
Let me think about, there is a team in Hungary, if I convince them we might do it...
Nossa maravilha de maquina quro uma
I want one
when isnt this 4 sale ?
Quro um como faz linda maquina
We haven't made much progress then.
40Hp engine, enough to get you of the ground...
Think along the computer line ,, if they could do it then , why cant they do it now , and at humble money.
OMKAR 15MAYS 1991S
Its now 2024, imagine what they can achieve with this now

Why can't people fly in these things TODAY?
It would probably be illegal nowadays
The Hiller is compliant with FAR part 103 regs. Go for it, man.
Because the average weight of Americans now is over 200 pounds
@@birit911 this. And also today's average American ain't no seasoned combat pilot.
best to name it "Killer"
I always get a laugh out of Americans saying ve hickle and pronounce the H.
