The Hiller VZ-1
The idea behind the Hiller was quite ridiculous, to begin with, and it was another aircraft design that didn’t even seem like a good idea on paper let alone during its test flight. It was a crazy idea, l take out all the gears and allow the pilot to navigate the aircraft using only their bodyweight. Thankfully for these pilots, this crazy aircraft’s max speed was 16 mph! As expected, no one was impressed during the test flight.
