JANUARY 8TH, I948 FLIGHT 45 PERFORMANCE DATA* Highspeed 105 m.p.h. ", Cruising Speed (70 per cent power) 85 m.p.h. Range (27 gallons, 70 per cent power) ... ... 212 mites Endurance (70 per cent-power) 2.5 hours Vertical Rate of Climb «0 f.p.m. Maximum Rate of Climb 1,000 f.p.m. Service Ceiling .'. Over 12,000ft Maximum Vertical Take-off Altitude (no wind) 4,000 to 6,000ft Maximum Take-off (forward run) 13,000ft • Normal Condition—2,100 Ib gross weight loads on the stick are very small, as the pilot merely hasto guide the control-rotor aerofoils which, in their turn, operate the main rotor blades. Since the stick is not con-nected directly to the main rotor, no vibrations are trans- mitted to the stick and to the pilot's hand (no more cal-louses!). By a simple trimming arrangement the system becomes stable at any steady speed, and even in the hover-ing condition. The use of an overhead stick reduces the number of links, with resultant saving in complication andweight. It is expected that the Hiller 360 will go through itsC.A.A. tests and get its airworthiness certificate during the next few months. Production and deliveries will beginlater this year. The main data are shown above. It is interesting to note that the disposable load at normal grossweight is 4.2 lb per h.p.
