Hiller Flying Platform
The Hiller Flying Platform is a unique experimental aircraft developed in the 1950s by Hiller Aircraft Corporation. It is designed as a personal flying vehicle that allows a pilot to hover and maneuver above the ground. The platform uses a series of rotors to generate lift, enabling it to take off and land vertically.
This innovative vehicle was part of a broader interest in personal aviation and military applications. Although it demonstrated the potential for individual flight, the Hiller Flying Platform never entered mass production due to technical challenges and safety concerns.
