The unflown Boeing-Vertol XCH-62 prototype, a sort of oversized flying crane. It was the largest helicopter ever built in the western countries. After its cancellation the XCH-62 was displayed at the US Army Aviation Museum (Fort Rucker, Alabama) until some IDIOT (idiot is even a too mild word) decided to scrap it in 2005.

That XCH was really impressive walking around/under. It was really a shock when it was cancelled, no rumors, no warning, just pack up your tools and get off the ship in the middle of the shift.
