'''Hiller X-18''' je bil eksperimentalni [[VSTOL]] [[zrakoplov]] z [[nagibno krilo|nagibnim krilom]]. Vsak motor je imel dva trikraka [[kontrarotirajoča propelerja]]. Turbopropelerska motorja nista bila povezana z gredjo, kar bi v primeru izgube motorja vodilo v strmoglavljenje.

Zgradili so samo en prototip<ref>http://www.joebaugher.com/usaf_serials/1957.html</ref> Prvi let je bil 24. novembra 1959, v letalski bazi Edwards so izvedli okrog 20 letov. Izkušnje so pozneje uporabili na [[XC-142A]].
