    Summary

    Description

    This can be described as a fixed-wing helicopter, not a common phrase in the aviation world! It was evaluated for the Heavy-Lift Helicopter project in 1972 which led also to the creation of the enormous XCH-62. This is a modified CH-47A fitted with a 9ft fuselage plug, four bladed rotors and, most remarkably, a variable geometry fixed wing. Thankfully it has been preserved. c/n B.164.
