The Hiller Ten99 was a test helicopter built in 1961. The six-seater model was equipped with a gas turbine and its components largely corresponded to the other Hiller models, but had a much larger cabin.
In a comparison flight it was defeated by the Bell UH-1 Huey. A version for the civil market was proposed but not implemented. Eventually the project was abandoned.
