Down South Anomalies #111 Ben Blakebrough: Piloting a Hiller Flying Platform

from Untold Radio Network · host Untold Radio Network

In the wake of the recent worldwide Drone invasion, we thought it was time to look back on the pre-drone experimental Hiller flying platforms. Commissioned by the U.S military in the mid-1950s and deemed impractical for their use, this mantle was then picked up by maverick & outsider engineers to further its development. Australian Ben Blakebrough is one such artist & DIY engineer who built & modified the Hiller design to perform with it at festivals around the world.If you wish to contact or support Ben with his work email him on [email protected]
