Hiller Flying Platform

Hiller Flying Platform

A Hiller 1031-A-1 Flying Platform on display at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum's Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center. This experimental one-man vehicle was designed to be operated with a minimum of input from its occupant, but proved impractical and was never put into service.
