Hill Details Progress on HX50 Turbine Single
UK start-up helicopter company plans first deliveries in 2023.

Hill Helicopters has reported that it has accumulated more than 340 orders for its turbine single-engine kit HX50 and to-be-certified HC50 helicopters.

The sales pace surprised CEO Jason Hill, who said that sales came from 38 countries and significantly bested orders from competitors, although Hill's helicopters have not yet entered service. “We have a 51 percent market share. We're outselling the [Robinson] R44 by 2.3 to one, the R66 by four to one, and the Bell 505 by 4.6 to one,” he told a recent virtual global meetup audience.
