Inside The $750,000 Hill HX50 Private Helicopter

This is the Hill HX50, the world's first fully private helicopter. Set up by Dr. Jason Hill, an engineer and keen helicopter pilot, the company was established with the lofty goal of building ‘the world’s first truly ground-up helicopter since the invention of rotorcraft flight.’ The company's first proposed model is the HX50, an undeniably good-looking machine that offers both outstanding luxury and incredible performance.
Unlike helicopters designed for fleet operators, the HX50 is specifically crafted for private owners seeking a personalized flying experience.
The HX50 combines customization with impressive performance: it features a three-blade rotor system and a powerful in-house GT50 turboshaft engine, delivering 400 horsepower, a cruise speed of 140 knots, and a range of up to 700 nautical miles.
The base purchase price for a new Hill HX50 is £595,000, or about $750,000 before options.
But can this machine really sell for only $750,000? Here is everything you need to know about the Hill HX50.
