In the 1950s there were various designs for flying platforms, but the technology wasn’t quite good enough for a practical design. Flying Platform, LLC displayed the beginnings of an updated version of the Hiller Flying Platform at the U.S. Sport Aviation Expo in Sebring, Florida and hope to have it flying by June. After that, they’ll be offering kits for sale.
