Rotor Mast Manufacturing

Just starting up on the lathe – the second of three rotor masts for the HX50 prototypes, clearly a vital part of the aircraft but also an object of beauty in itself.

Although the latest interfaces for the gearbox are now in place, the top of the rotor head may not be what you are used to in current helicopters. Having to meet very exacting safety certification standards means that the traditional configuration is no longer permitted.

You will be impressed by Hill’s design answer to this challenge - both elegant and practical.
