On a given day, the Maritime College's 12,000-ton Empire State IV, a refitted troop transport, churns out toward the open sea; a lab class in horticulture at Cobleskill crossbreeds African violets.

The Army had earlier awarded the company an $86 million development contract for an aircraft to ride shotgun for the vulnerable troop-carrying helicopters in Viet Nam. Last week at Van Nuys Airport, Calif., Lockheed put its answer in the air: a prototype of the radical AH-56A Cheyenne-a combination helicopter and fixed-wing plane-gave a 15-minute display of its capabilities...
