A dynamic test model was completed in May 1967 and the first flight of a genuine AH-56A prototype took place on September 21, 1967. One of the dramatic design features is the narrow fuselage cross-section which is made possible by the tandem seating arrangement of Pilot and Gunner. Unfortunately, a fatal crash of one of the prototypes, development delays, and the political climate led to the cancellation of the overall program.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantis Models","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52794558021932,"sku":"AANA506","price":22.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0915\/7863\/0444\/files\/aana506.jpg?v=1776976929","url":"https:\/\/www.echosixhobbies.com\/products\/1-72-lockheed-ah-56a-cheyenne-helicopter","provider":"Echo Six Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
