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\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ATLANTIS MODEL COMPANY","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53591741825303,"sku":"850002740301","price":22.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/5952\/3095\/files\/aana506.jpg?v=1782753771","url":"https:\/\/mid-south-hobbies.myshopify.com\/products\/aana506","provider":"Mid-South Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
