This YEH-60B SOTAS prototype prepares to land after completing a test flight. The Motorola radar has been stowed under the fuselage and the retractable landing gear is fully extended for landing. (Sikorsky)

The long extended landing gear of the YEH-60B SOTAS was installed to create room under the aircraft for a large rotating radar antenna. The aircraft was thoroughly tested with the new landing gear before the radar was actually installed. (Sikorsky)

The YEH-60B SOTAS never went into production sińce the Army decided to put the money it would have cost into the JSTARS Program, which morę than proved its worth during the Gulf War. The large rotating radar and long, retractable landing gear definitely madę for an unusual looking Black Hawk. (Sikorsky)
