XH-26 Jet Jeep Scale 1:48 AMP 48007 Plastic Model Helicopter Kit

Hiller XH-26 “Jet Jeep” experimental helicopter plastic model kit in 1:48 scale represents an unconventional U.S. Army research helicopter developed during the early Cold War.

The XH-26 Jet Jeep was designed as a lightweight, easily transportable helicopter intended for reconnaissance and liaison roles. Its most distinctive feature was the use of tip-mounted jet engines on the rotor blades, eliminating the need for a tail rotor and resulting in a very compact airframe.

Hiller XH-26 Jet Jeep – Experimental Rotorcraft

Evaluated by the United States Army in the early 1950s, the XH-26 explored alternative propulsion concepts for rotary-wing aircraft. Although the type did not enter operational service, it contributed valuable data to helicopter research programs during the Early Cold War period.
