Although the prototype crashed in 1961, the S-60 led to the development of the successful S-64 Skycrane.

Advantages of the design were unobstructed visibility for the pilot, the ability to pick up payloads of all sizes and configurations while parked or hovering, and lower production and operational costs. The design would include dynamic components of the S-56\/CH-37. N807, the sole S-60 prototype, took flight for the first time on March 25, 1959. It was used to demonstrate its ability in carrying, towing and hoisting various types of cargo, and mine sweeping.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlthough effective, the S-60 was underpowered and eventually succeeded by an enlarged version with more powerful engines and a six blade rotor, the S-64. The S-60, instead, was to be delivered to NASA with an adjustment of the control sensitivity that would allow it to perform precision low speed maneuvers. Before it was delivered, during a check-out flight on April 3, 1961, it became unmanageable and crashed on the Sikorsky field. N807 was damaged beyond repair and remained stored outdoors for almost 50 years. Connecticut Air and Space Center obtained the airframe in 2010. In 2023, CASC provided the original skin from N807’s restoration to create S-60 PlaneTags.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1353\/7931\/files\/S-60_GALLERY01_480x600_bbdb2900-18bb-4e60-9616-535d688513ba.jpg?v=1692637203\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe S-60 was Igor Sikorsky’s last aircraft design he was personally involved in and a notable part of aviation history.
