Sikorsky S-64 Skycrane (YCH-54A) The Skycrane crane-type helicopter has been developed primarily tomeet the requirements of a specification prepared by the GermanDefence Ministry, and the first prototype flew for the first time on May 9, 1962, the second and third prototypes being delivered to Germany for evaluation by the Federal German armed forces in co-operation with Weser Flugzeugbau. Six Skycranes have also been purchased for evaluation by the U.S. Army as YCH-54As. Equipped with interchangeable pods, the Skycrane can be used for mine-sweeping, anti-submarine warfare, cargo and missile transportation, or as a 60-seat troop transport. The flight deck provides accommodation for up to five crew members, and equipment includes a 15,000-lb. hoist.

On April 29, 1965 a YCH-54A lifted eighty-seven combat-equipped troops in a detachable van beneath the fuselage. |
