| Michael Fischer , CA | Gentlemen,
There appears to be a bit of confusion relative to the manufacturer of aircraft shown in the accompanying photograph. The machine in the photograph is, without question, a Hiller Rotorcycle. The XROE helicopter was manufactured by Hiller Aircraft, or under license by Saunders and Roe of England (as the YROE), not by Gyrodyne. Gyrodyne, however, did manufacture a series of small one man helicopters which were designated XRON. These were of a co-axial rotor configuration. A representative example of this machine was on exhibit at MCAS Quantico, VA. I have done extensive study of both machines including detailed first hand examination of the actual helicopters. 06/13/2006 @ 09:56 [ref: 13512] |
