Heyman: "The XCH-62A was to be a heavy
lift helicopter. Procurement of 300 aircraft was envisaged. A single
prototype was ordered on January 29, 1973, s/n 73-22012. The
aircraft was 90% complete when the programme was cancelled on
October 1, 1974. The project was briefly revived in 1984. By 2005 the
airframe on display at the US Army Aviation Museum had deteriorated
and was demolished."
