Flying Platform

Uploaded by: uflyingo
Video Description:
The Hiller Flying Platform was designed in 1955. It was originally an ONR (Office of Naval Research) project to develop a platform capable of carrying one man for short hops.
The US Army also displayed interest in this unusual helicopter, steered by its soldier-pilot shifting his weight to guide the direction of travel. The Flying Platform actually worked, lifting to a height of several feet, but never entered production.
