[edit] When

When did the XV-3 have the wind tunnel accident and when did work on the project actually end? --Born2flie 07:05, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

Per Stephen Harding's book on US Army Aircraft, the first prototype was damaged beyond economical repair (cause unstated) in 1956. Joint US Army/AF testing on second prototype ended in 1962, after which the XV-3 was tranferred to NASA. That's all I have tonight, but I'll keep looking. - BillCJ 07:54, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
