- evgen 5y agoThe Hiller flying platform is a rather cool gadget and Bay-area folks can see one at the Hiller Aviation Museum in San Carlos. With all of the wacky vehicles people have made using jumped-up quadcopter designs or small jet engines I am really surprised no one has tried to make a new version of this aircraft.
- djmips 5y agoCool. I used to live near there but for some reason never knew about that Museum. I'll have to watch this video for now but I'll get over there some day again. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FhX_YJEkpOo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FhX_YJEkpOo
