Darrell, you posted one of the Cheyenne variations in the unbuilt Lockheed thread:

http://stingraysrotorforum.activeboard.com/forum.spark?aBID=126840&topicID=26406080&p=3&page=1

According to Jens, this is an ASW proposal. From Aviation Week 1965 9-17.

How 'bout that? I had no idea it was a AH-56 derivative.

Thanks to Triton:

AH-56 Cheyenne armament

XM51

A nose turret with one M129 40 mm grenade launcher with 300 rounds. In light of the failure of the AH-56 was proposed as a replacement for the M5 system on the UH-1 helicopter. Designed to be interchangeable with the XM53.


XM52

Belly turret with a single XM140 30 mm cannon. Use on other helicopters was also debated.


XM53

A nose turret with one XM196 7.62x51 mm machine gun. Also said to be suitable for the UH-1 series of helicopters. Designed to be interchangeable with the XM51.

Dear Boys and Girls, here is an article in French describing the Lockheed AH-56A Cheyenne helicopter and its rigid-rotor; though by this stage it is obviously not a "project"......

The article comes from the 1st July 1967 issue of Aviation Magazine International......

In 1967 NASA proposed a VTOL version of the Lockheed Model 18 Lodestar that would be equipped with the engine, transmission and tailrotor of an AH-56 Cheyenne. The blades would be compact and able to fold backward.
