          The
            Sikorsky S-56 was developed to meet a U.S. Marine Corps
            requirement for a large assault helicopter.  The S-56 had two
            nacelles on either side of the fuselage that held both the piston
            engines and retractable landing gear.  The prototype first flew
            in 1953.
             The S-56 was delivered to the Marine Corps as the HR2S. 
            The U.S. Army designated their version the H-37 Mojave. 
            Later versions could lift 11,000 lbs of cargo or 36 fully armed
            troops.  |
