Bell announced the KingCobra program in January 1971. Two prototypes were built, one with a P&WC T400-CP-400 Twin Pac dual turboshaft engine system much like that used on the AH-1J, but with a stronger drivetrain allowing operation at full 1,800 shp (1,340 kW) power, and the other with a single Lycoming T55-L-7C turboshaft engine rated at 2,000 shp (1,490 kW).
