Best of luck to them; it’s in any case admirable to see someone attempt to shake things up and have a go at a different approach. It takes a lot to put yourself out there and open yourself up to the inevitable criticism. |

Please take a bunch of photos tomorrow and post them here. I'm sure even the cynics would be very interested.

The day will be unforgettable as you'll witness a landmark moment – the grand reveal of the first HX50.
Step into the future as you explore this groundbreaking aircraft, experience the plush comfort of the luxurious interior, and behold the advanced Hill Digital Cockpit. Be a part of this exciting milestone in aviation history. |
Yes I'm sure it'll be a full-scale mockup essentially with no engine or gearbox, probably no rotors, but still interesting. Hopefully they've made good progress towards creating an engine.

Nope, definately no gearbox or rotors...
Sure, blades would be removed for travel, but are they assembling an aircraft onsite or is the transmission part of a static display? |
watching it now
|
Crab - best hit "Defrost"?
|
Sweepstake on the number of patent challenges Hill are going to receive?
The two idiot presenters are adding nothing to the credibility of the project. |
|
Flight ops at Halfpenny Green...!
He's renting/buying 10 acres to create a flight ops centre. No planning issues. Apparently... |
Just came home from work. Did I miss anything big?
From photo above, damn, those are some wide skids. Is Hill concerned about fairly inexperienced owner doing dynamic roll overs? |
They don't look wide to me; the helicopter just sits lower to the ground than many others do, so the angle is more spread out.

Jason Hill said the HX50 should be flying next year (2024)
Engine currently not running. |
