We get a tour of DC2 and an idea of the incredible amount of effort that is going in to perfect the airframe.  A lot has been learned by producing two airframes and this is informing the third version, as the edges and surfaces get smoother and tiny imperfections are eliminated.

Learn about the history behind the decision Hill made to manufacture all of its components in house, and how this system benefits owners with their initial purchase, as well as over the long term.

Episode 21: Vertical Integration and the HX50

Hill have been able to demonstrate that their approach to making a monolarge in a single piece not only works, but is remarkably cost-effective. Watch how it’s done, from start to finish. 

Episode 20: The first prototype airframe emerges in DC2 

Enthusiasts of the HX50 naturally want to know if it will be possible to buy and register the aircraft outside the UK, where it is being developed and built.

Buying and Registering the HX50 outside the UK

All aircraft are defined by the engine you use to power them, and this is no less true in a light helicopter. For Hill the search for the perfect engine led to them building their own.

The reasons for building our own turbine engine

The fascinating journey of the various phases of testing the HX50, leading up to the launch of the first prototypes that will eventually be sent off on missions around the world, involving many thousands of hours of flight testing, is described in full by Jason Hill.
