Sikorsky S-67
The First Blackhawk
Designed from the
S-61F
and the
S-66
project ( the Sikorsky's motion for the US Army 's 1965/6 AAFSS competition ) the BlackHawk was a Sikorsky 's private venture
intended to replace the
Lockheed AH-56 Cheyenne when that program was cancelled but it was not chosen by the US Army to participate in the new AAH competition.
The models chosen were the Hughes 77 (as the YAH-64) and the
