In September 1964, after the purchase of Hiller Helicopters Airlines, Fairchild was renamed the FH-1100 . By the end of 1974, 254 cars were produced, including prototypes. Stanley Hiller in 1973 re-organized the company under the name "Hiller Aviation" and bought the rights to a helicopter. After renaming it “Rogerson-Hiller”, the company produced 5 copies of a helicopter under the name RH-1100B Pegasus from 1983 to 1986. In 1985, one of them was modified into a military version of the RH-1100M Hornet . Currently, the rights to the helicopter belong to the company FH1100 Manufacturing Corporation , formed in the early 2000s for the production of this helicopter.
