Designed by Charles Seibel, Cessna's only helicopter looks like it was intended for flying to church on Sunday, but the CH-1 actually broke a world altitude record and the US Army tested it as the YH-41 Seneca. Apparently it had serious technical issues as Cessna tried to buy back the circa 50 examples built and to have the type certificate revoked.
