A coaxial-rotor aircraft is an aircraft whose rotors are mounted one above the other on concentric shafts, with the same axis of rotation, but turning in opposite directions (contra-rotating). This rotor configuration is a feature of helicopters produced by the Russian Kamov helicopter design bureau.
The helicopter made an appearance during a public demonstration at San Francisco on August 30, 1944. [2] [3] The success of the XH-44 caught the attention of Henry J. Kaiser, who funded further development of Hiller's rotor system. [2] Hiller donated the XH-44 to the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum in 1953. [4]
The CoAX 2D/2R was originally known as the FLIP 2 (Fly In Perfection) and is a derivative of the FLIP 1, a conventional helicopter with a main and tail rotor.[1]The CoAX 2D/2R was designed to comply with the European Class 6 microlight helicopter rules, including the category's maximum takeoff weight of 450 kg (992 lb).

A Lama V3 model helicopter, with a simplified coaxial rotor system. A recent innovation is that of coaxial electric helicopters. The system's simple direction control and freedom from torque induced yaw have, in recent years, made it a good candidate on small models for beginner and/or indoor use.
The company was renamed Hiller Helicopters in 1948. It was involved in the development of a number of prototype helicopters. It was involved in the development of a number of prototype helicopters. From the early 1960s to 1969, its Palo Alto plant served as a CIA cover for the production of the CORONA reconnaissance satellites .
The Breguet G.111 or alternatively, G.11E was a French passenger coaxial rotors helicopter flown soon after World War II. Only one was built, development ceasing when funding ran out. Only one was built, development ceasing when funding ran out.
