Comanche's engine air intake is delicately designed, the opening is slit-shaped, and the air passage is tortuous to prevent radar waves from irradiating the turbofan to produce large echoes. In addition to the stealth design for radar detection, the Comanche helicopter also uses a complex stealth design for infrared detection. ▲In order to enhance the stealth effect, Comanche's appearance is very unique In 1996, the first prototype of the Comanche armed reconnaissance helicopter completed its first test flight and was successful.

In 1991, the joint team of Sikorsky and Boeing won a contract for the LHX program after a series of competitive bidding. According to the plan, this new type of armed reconnaissance helicopter adopts a dual-engine, two-seater design, with stealth effect and the same powerful firepower as the Apache gunship, and the stealth effect is the top priority. And intends to use a new type of helicopter to replace the one-ticket light helicopter in hand. Army proposed the LHX program, the experimental light helicopter program. In the 1980s, the US Army planned to develop a new light helicopter to replace the Cobra gunship and Kiowa reconnaissance helicopter that had been in service since the Vietnam War. Speaking of the RAH-66 Comanche gunship, even if it has been dismounted, it can be said to be the most technologically advanced gunship. ▲A full-scale model of the Chinese version of the Comanche helicopter On the contrary, the angular lines and ducted tail rotors of the fuselage are similar to those of the Comanche armed reconnaissance that the United States has already dismounted.
From the appearance point of view, this helicopter model has no similarities with any current armed helicopters in China. Some remain in service today.Recently, a video circulated on the Internet in which a full-scale model of a mysterious helicopter appeared. Integrated sensors, networking, and digital communications for situational awareness, management of the combat arena in real time, and digital transmission of images and target locations to joint operations battlefield commandersīoeing produced 937 AH-64A Apaches between 19.Classification and threat-prioritization of up to 128 targets in less than a minute.Detection of objects (moving or stationary) without being detected.Longer-range weapons accuracy and all-weather/night fighting.Capability to control unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs)īoeing-built AH-64D Apaches continue to operate around the world, featuring these enhancements:.More powerful T700-GE-701D engines with upgraded face gear transmission to accommodate more power.Joint Tactical Information Distribution System.To date, more than 500 AH-64E model Apaches have been delivered worldwide. Army and a growing number of global defense forces. The AH-64E Apache is the most advanced multi-role combat helicopter for the U.S. Army Apache (A thru E Model) Combat Hours: More than 1.3 million Army Apache (A thru E Model) Flight Hours: More than 4.8 million
With the recent delivery of all new AH-64E Apaches to the Indian Air Force, Boeing anticipates additional opportunities in rotorcraft training and sustainment. For example, Boeing’s joint venture facility in Hyderabad with Tata Advanced Systems is delivering Apache attack helicopter fuselages for our global customers at a steady pace. We are investing in talent, training and skill development now and for the future, ensuring that workers are ready to deliver world-class quality. Boeing’s award-winning services range from transactional spares to complete lifecycle support solutions that are uniquely tailored to the requirements of each AH-64 Apache customer.Ĭollaboration is key to Boeing’s success around the world, and our commitment to in-country partnerships is a major focus for Boeing in its second century. From Performance-Based Logistics (PBL) and integrated fleet support to modifications, repairs and training, Boeing provides a broad spectrum of innovative products and services which directly support and enhance capabilities while reducing the total cost of ownership. Optimizing readiness for Apache fleets around the globe is one of Boeing’s primary missions.
