- This is a group of ephemera relating to the release and, promotion of the X-18 "Propelloplane". The group includes two, typed immediate realease sheets, four 8" x 10" black and white, photographs of the X-18, and a press reference manual, all in, Very Good+ or better condition. "Stanley Hiller, then, seventeen, established the first helicopter factory on the West, Coast of the United States, located in Berkeley, California, in, 1942, under the name "Hiller Industries," to develop his design, for the coaxial-rotor XH-44 "Hiller-Copter" for the U. S. Army., The XH-44 became operational in 1944. In collaboration with, Henry J. Kaiser, it became United Helicopters in 1945. In the, postwar years, United Helicopter produced a number of, innovative helicopter designs for military and civilian, purposes, including coaxial-rotor and tailless designs, as well, as more conventional models. In January, 1949, a Hiller 360, became the first civilian helicopter to cross the United, States. Besides helicopters, in the year after World War II,, Stanley Hiller researched a two-man rocket-jet aircraft design, that took off and landed vertically, called the VJ-100, in, which he tried unsuccessfully to interest the U. S. Military.", (from Wikipedia) "The Hiller X-18 was an experimental cargo, transport aircraft designed to be the first testbed for, tiltwing and V/STOL (vertical/short takeoff and landing), technology. Design work started in 1955 by Stanley Hiller Jr, and Hiller Aircraft Corporation received a manufacturing, contract and funding from the U. S. Air Force to build the only, X-18 ever produced, serialled 57-3078. To speed up construction, and conserve money, the plane was constructed from scavenged, parts including a Chase YC-122C Avitruc fuselage, 49-2883, and, turboprops from the Lockheed XFV-1 and Convair XFY-1 Pogo
