The mock-up isn't very good. The wing's got a 90 degree bend in it!


Yep...coat time again!

Model 36C Voodoo mock-up, inspected in August 1946. The "Vee" tail design saved precious weight, critical to the range and altitude performance of a long-range fighter. However, subsequent wind tunnel testing revealed possible interference effects at transonic speed. A conventional tail was chosen instead and would be built as the definitive XF-88 Voodoo.

The XCH-62 above - is that a mock-up or the incomplete prototype?

The incomplete XCH-62 prototype (73-22012) was stored at US Army Aviation Museum at Fort Rucker, Alabama. It was to be pulled out of storage in the mid-1980s when the Army, the US National Aeronautics & Space Administration (NASA), and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) collaborated on a scheme to finish the XCH-62 for experimental flights. However, Congress declined funding, and the craft remained incomplete.[1]

It was also broken up quite recently IIRC
