via Instagram http://ift.tt/1KxKXI5 Just because it's Saturday night! This must be one of the craziest ideas ever - and that's why I love it! This is US Army personal helicopter named the HZ-1 "Aerocycle". It was developed by de Lackner Helicopters. "Aerocycle" made its first test flight on 22 November 1954. Over 160 flights were conducted and a dozen helicopters ordered. However, the HZ-1 was too difficult to control and after some crashes the project was abandoned. #aerocycle #personal #helicopter #usa #us #american #usarmy #army #military #coldwar #history #crazy #idea #cool #epic #test #flight
