Visiting Hill Helicopters Production Centre One

[@murph10375]

I watch KZbin for entertainment. I’m entertained by helicopter content. I wholesomely appreciate people who are good at their job. The chap here has absolutely bought me into his dream. His passion, knowledge and charisma is intoxicating.

[@aflatbroke1]

Your knowledge and commitment, factory layout is very impressive. The guys your showing around have nil enthusiasm which is not good for the video what your telling them is amazing 😳. To manufacture the hole craft is an incredible effort. well done too you.

[@v35james78]

Love the fact there’s a guys driving around just cleaning the floors. Awesome.

[@nikenpeeps]

As a guy who learned to fly in R22s, that HX50 cockpit is the stuff of childhood dreams.

[@timmholzhauer3342]

Amazing they are still alive!! Trying to reinvent the wheel is typical a bankruptcy waiting to happen. Some billionaire has become a millionaire now for sure… Not a bad hobby. At least there’s a bunch of people making a living, nobody is hurt. Don’t get me wrong, I’d love to see them prosper. It took and still takes a lot of optimism (and a ton of $$$$$). All the best!!! I keep following.

[@smithtorreysmith]

What an amazing tour. This really gives you confidence in the Hill team.

[@unclegeek]

Facinating how all this comes together. So many educated people

[@ellonysman]

... and $$$ lol😅

[@TROdesigns]

Nice insider view of PC1. Couldn't imagine being invited into a facility like this and picking up any machined components without asking first lol.

[@johannvanschalkwyk2141]

Very cool to see. I like the knowledge of Jason on all aspects…. Well done

[@ellonysman]

😮Wow....that was truly an "EPIC TOUR" of the facility.😅❤ Coming along nicely!😅

[@chadpm11]

Awesome 👌 she's going to be a sexy helicopter. Can't wait to see her start flying.

[@blakechinn5792]

Everyone said Tesla wouldn’t make it . Look where it is now . Hill is no different. Revolutionary ideas usually attract criticism. Keep going Hill

[@adrianhawley4909]

What a dream place to work! Good luck to you all!

[@nightcrawleroriginal]

Very nice work of art. Some needed finishing touches and hopefully it will be made. 👍 😊

[@Legomanfred]

That's great! Thanks for sharing. 👍

[@andrewtsousis3130]

This is really cool, but as most think, it’s hard to believe you will be manufacturing your own engine, and making it both reliable and affordable. I wish you the best, and certainly hope all goes well with this endeavor.

[@DanFrederiksen]

Very nice. Audio mix was low, you might be able to adjust that after the fact. Were they making their own ball bearings? that's surprising if they do. I wonder why they do that. The turbine bearing prices I got from SKF were quite workable. I was also surprised how casually they make optical quality windows on a seemingly porous mold. It must have a backing sheet that keeps the surface smooth. Maybe under tension.

[@stevejones924]

Pilot Yellow, you should hold a Helicopter One Hour Flight Contest! Ya. You should.

[@TheRangerBob]

What is the schedule for the first test flight, and how long from there is the certification process?

[@canyonrunner331]

I believe Hill did a bigger stream on their channel a month ago and they laid out the whole timeline.

[@TheGreggAdam]

No time soon don’t get your hopes up, this won’t be coming to fruition

[@roydengillies]

Why do you think it is not going to happen?

[@MaX-ho7gl]

I think it will come true. In any case, Hill embarked on a noteworthy adventure, from building his own model helicopter to developing his own engine, but I also don't think he would have embarked on this if he hadn't seen the ultimate success. Well done Hill, I look forward to your first flight and your experience.

[@MichaelDarger-o2u]

This Gregg Adam hater is hating on hill everywhere for no reason and no proof that they will fail. Good thing he will be proved wrong! 😆

[@v35james78]

Did you guys arrange for the matching clothes 😂

[@bob-e1l8f]

When could someone actually take delivery of one?

[@eknuds]

You didn't fly the R66 there? I was going to guess that one of those Okuma machines would be a million dollars but they are only a third of that.

[@JamesBond-xq3tw]

Wow ,it’s all new aviation …amazing engineering…

[@jakobb598]

When you're building your own bearings and turbine engine, something went terribly wrong... Who wants to be the first one to find a design error in the engine?

[@chadelliott4584]

How do we fly with you for extra training??

[@Vladimirthetiny]

Lol wut?

[@dawnfreedom2024]

Hill is good maybe to good at one thing.... marketing and selling the idea... and getting the cash for it... to deliver will be another thing... I hear stories where people are no longer trusting the project and can not get out, basically, delays and promises not been kept, for this reason, I did change my mind about the reservation. Yellow pilots as ambassadors are responsible for sharing the truth about what is going on...

[@danwaldie4661]

Audio level is very low.

[@yama-fanboy]

plz normalize audio levels and re-upload! I can't hear a word.

[@jetpackaviation7239]

So naive. Developing a new airframe let alone engine requires capital of more than $1 billion. This will end in tears.

[@Vladimirthetiny]

Looks nothing like any other manufacturing facility FAL

[@humbertomonteiro6742]

😮😮 So Everything builds in house,. how many millions will cost each helicopter?
