The H-53E was already on the way, and would fill the heavy-lift role along with the Chinook. Pretty interesting, though. Like a 3 engine Sikorsky CH-54.
Former Army artillery officer here. OK, the Marine Corps has way, way, too few H-53 series of helicopters to share with Army. Most of them are in maintenance, the rest are at sea on LHA's. Marines are famously stingy with their rotary assets. In fact it is Army's Chinooks which real heavy lift workforces of US Armed Forces. There are alwsys in demand everywhere, by everyone. Many of Army's Chinooks are actually in National Guard units and have to Federalized to access .
@@dkoz8321 I was just pointing out that the technology was coming, not making a comment on availability. IMHO, almost everyone in the armed services doesn't get enough of things they need to do the job right.
Interesting, I am working on a prototype that does what the ch62 was designed for. Right now we are building a small scale prototype to prove the concept using new technology.
Private investors should re-introduce this concept. Today’s turbines’ power and efficiency is better. Catastrophic wild fires’ toll on infrastructure and developed lands could be better mitigated with these machines; whose speed, capacity, and range parameters could handily eclipse those of the current workhorse, Erickson’s S-64 variant of the legendary CH-54. More flame retardant deposited on site…and faster. Offshore platforms engineered or modified to accommodate these goliaths could enjoy faster delivery of larger equipment and more supplies than previously available. Morbidly obese fatty-fat people could enjoy breathtaking sky-tours once unthinkable. Once a proven success in the firefighting and commercial heavy-lift applications, militaries will SURELY be interested.

Interesting report. Maybe you could start a series about experimental programs made by other nations.
thank you

Fatty fat McFatfaces don't need sky tours unless they're gonna be dropped as biological weapons grade sweaty garters.😂😅
