This is neat. Theres not a lot of companies developing a full engine.

4:47 Are you at liberty to disclose the forecasted throughput of this machine? Or at least I was hoping you would mention how the deployment of this machine would impact full scale production e.g. enabling you to produce X number of turbines per day or per week or per month etc.

Truly amazing if this engine will actually run !! Finally a BRAND NEW design or a Turbine for General Aviation, which is long overdue :) !

Crazy we can follow along with this process!

I never knew that I was enthralled with the engineering processes until I came upon the HX50. It is probably the passion of the team at Hill Helicopters that is so contagious.

Excellent progress

❤

8:40: Good idea expanding that critical area

Einfach super ❤

All I have to say is this is the most beautiful helicopter I’ve ever seen especially for the price

Will the molds be in metal? and wont that machine be largely out of commission once production starts? unless you plan on frequent iteration or new models

This guy definitely watched airwolf a lot as a kid

Taking on ALL the big engine manufacturers of the planet is truly to be respected.. It's HIGH time for exactly this: dependable, light, affordable turbine safety. If you ever do make, let's just hope you won't sell your shares to some VC who will then milk out all your customers by pushing the price point to the price levels Pratt & Whitney / Rolls Royce etc....

Use some of the apache technologies in this helicopter.....😊😂😂

Looks so far so good. I want to own one someday.

Wow! That gantry mill is big! 😃

The sound needs to be turned up by 200%, but otherwise a cool video

Amazing man, really rooting for you guys to make it !! It will be ground breaking disruption of the aviation industry.... truly impressive if you actually make it happen !!

Hey Doc, you've got yourself, and your teammates, one hellofa production facility! Kudos! Bang up job! Y'all are absolutely reviving a corpse and bringing new life to a fading industry JUST IN TIME! Y'all have saved personal aviation from the shredder. Thank you and your marvelous team of dedicated people! Keep on keeping on 😊

I can't wait to see this bird fly!

Wow, congratulations on the new site

Looking at these videos makes it clear why it's such a long process, truly amazing if it's going to work out. Good luck, keep going !

Still rooting for you to make it !! Would be such a ground breaking development to, from scratch, create a low(er) cost Turbine engine... truly amazing if it works. Good luck !!

I think you would of been better to buy the engines from the start and develop your own in time

Feel good to see excellent work . I think it’s gonna be best seller Helicopter👌🚁🚁👍

Once the display is used as a viewport it makes sense to have minimal digital data display to not obstruct the view with clutter. Just digital values around the periphery is nice and clean. Analog is legacy.

DO160 and DO254 compliance, right?

I don't think aviation companies should show irresponsible flying in their ads. I don't think all of that flying was by the rules.

Altitude and VSI needs to go on the right side while speed and power to the left. Baro is ok below ALT and VSI... current display feels quite weird for anyone used to 6 pack and Glass cockpit.-- Other than that I like this idea and design a lot!

All kinds of options you say?? How about a partnership to intergrate MS flight sim to use their world 3d data in the back ground as terrain? If its all real time, then sudden foggy conditions would still be flyable due to the data streaming of the environment from that simulator in real time.

Please, for your own sanity and ultimate blade production success seek out your fellow countryman Prof. John Campbell re improving that horrid 6000 year old casting gating system... Martin

Hill 50 simulator fans! The word is out that the Hill is coming to Xplane and MFS~!

still awaiting for that first flight.

1:16 will those turbin blades be hollow with cooling chanels?

Is that a inhouse process or are you going to a outside vender do the casting?

Good to see these regular updates!

Where is this helicopter ?

Excellent work! I can tell that this will be a first class operation!

Looking great… Can we land in the yard when we come and visit ? I know it’s a bit tight with Screwfix and the M6 being so close but it’s doable with permission I’m sure ?

Theyre gonna find out the hard way

Its just a matter of time until some inforseen thing crashes the UI at the most inconvenient time. I like the helicopter but the people who wanna fly that thing with this UI digital cockpit are brave souls.

My idea is why not make a variable size nozzle similar like the tip of a spray gun with pin needle in the middle.

Hello podcaster! I am a student, what software do you use to design the shell? Can you recommend a study?

Bunch of proprietary stuff. Nobody will know how to keep this thing serviced properly.

I love your content but please get rid of the distracting background music or at least lower the volume so it doesn't drown out the talking.

Success on all levels and on the delivery of those machines without any delays 💖💫

How fine are the tolerances involved in effective turbine blades and stator vanes? There has to be some form of diminishing returns has you lower tolerances.

Spinning the mold while pouring the liquid really strengthens the end product. Cobalt is another avenue to look into as an additive to Fan Blades and transmission gears, very tough element against wear and adds durability. :)
