Hiller UH-12 Civil Helicopter Family

The UH-12 is the civil light-helicopter design developed from Hiller’s Model 360. It uses a single main rotor with small control paddles in Hiller’s Rotor Matic system. The Hiller Aviation Museum records civil certification in 1948 and describes passenger carrying and sling-load capability. Although production has ended, the museum states that UH-12s remain in general aviation use. Military OH-23 derivatives share the lineage but are not the focus of this civil family record.
