Hiller UH12E and Variants

 

 

The Hiller 12E was the brain child of helicopter pioneer Stanley Hiller Jr, who flew his  first machine - a co-axial configuration - the Hiller-copter X-44 in 1944.

 

 

 

The Hiller Raven, Hiller Aviation or Fairchild Hiller UH12E series are one of the longest running production piston helicopters in the world.

They have been in production since 1959 with limited numbers built in later years.

Once the US Army basic training helicopter, they currently still  do a great job in the AG industry.
