It was originally powered by an 840 shp Lycoming YT53 turboprop engine. It was replaced with a 1000 shp Lycoming T53-L-1 turbine. The turbine engine is mounted in the fuselage driving two ducted fan propellers.

Only one aircraft was produced. Given serial number 56-9642, it is on display at the U.S. Army Transportation Museum located at Fort Eustis, VA.
