Since it's start in 1942, Hiller Aircraft has manufactured over 3,000 helicopters for civil, military and government customers throughout the world. This includes over 900 helicopters used as primary trainers for the United States military.
Considered the most versatile helicopter in production, the UH-12E provides unparalleled capability including external load work, aerial observation and primary through turbine flight training - all using the same basic airframe. All of this can be done without the need for pilots to meet special FAA training and experience requirements necessary with some other aircraft.
Known as flying pick-up trucks, Hiller helicopters are the proven choice for agriculture, forestry and construction. The Hiller UH-12E boasts the highest useful load of any helicopter in its class; 300 pounds more than its closest competitor.
Its simple construction adds to its versatility. Hiller is the only light helicopter that can be serviced and maintained without extensive preparation work or removing cowlings. Hiller is also the only manufacturer that publishes full maintenance manuals so components do not have to go back to the factory for overhaul. This allows owners to choose who does the maintenance rather than the manufacturer making the decision for you.
