During the 1970's the U.S. Army held an intense competition to select a replacement for the Bell UH-1 Iroquois. Three Boeing Vertol prototypes were among the contenders - introducing 73-21657, a YUH-61.
73-21657 was built for Boeing Vertol's entry into the Utility Tactical Transport Aircraft System (UTTAS) competition. Its design featured a four-bladed, hingeless rotor system made from composite materials, which reduced weight and maintenance, and enhanced its performance and agility.
Although the YUH-61 ultimately lost to the Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk, the legacy of the YUH-61 set new standards and expectations for military helicopter design, influencing the evolution of rotorcraft for decades to come. In 2022, MotoArt found this long lost prototype and created PlaneTags from the damaged boom, preserving the cockpit as a whole.
