This Day in Aviation History
June 10th, 1987
First flight of the Boeing Model 360.
 
The Boeing Model 360 was an American experimental medium-lift tandem rotor cargo helicopter developed privately by Boeing to demonstrate advanced helicopter technology. The aircraft was intended as a technology demonstrator, with no plans to put the type into production, and many of its design features were carried onto other programs including the RAH-66 Comanche and V-22 Osprey. The sole prototype now resides at the American Helicopter Museum in West Chester, Pennsylvania….
