Hiller XROE-1 Rotorcycle

Creative inventors and engineers proposed a great many innovative ideas in the 1950s., including this one: when an American pilot gets shot down behind enemy lines, why not drop a simple, lightweight helicopter that the pilot could just unfold, start up, and fly back to friendly territory? The Hiller prototype worked, but there were too many problems with the project, so it was canceled. This is one of seven that survived.
