    Lockheed AH-56 Cheyenne and derivatives

    In this Lockheed advertisment the AH-56 is shown with an additional outline, giving a deeper fuselage and it is advertised to be the basis for a transport for up to 30 passengers or as a ASW helicopter. Are there any other pictures, drawings or photos of mock-ups of these versions ?
