The XH-59 was was built to accept vibration dampers. Apparently they were never installed because Sikorsky stop work on the craft after it lost the competition.

In retrospect, it is unfortunate that they did not slowly continue with R & D, since testing the craft with dampers, etc. might have been beneficial to the development of the X2.
