Boeing AH-64 Apache
The Boeing AH-64 Apache is an American tandem-seat, twin-turboshaft attack helicopter. Developed by Hughes Helicopters for the United States Army to replace the AH-1 Cobra. It first flew on September 30, 1975, entering service in 1986 with the 7th Battalion, 17th Cavalry Brigade, US Army and first saw combat in 1989 with the US military in Panama. McDonnell Douglas purchased Hughes Helicopters in 1984 and merged with Boeing in August 1997.
The upgraded AH-64D Apache Longbow first flew on April 15, 1997, with deliveries commencing in March. Equipped with a glass cockpit and expanded forward fuselage to house new systems. Most noticeable are the AN/APG-78 Longbow millimeter-wave fire-control radar (FCR) target acquisition system and the Radar Frequency Interferometer (RFI), housed in the dome above the main rotor. More powerful engines and improved survivability.
The Apache is in service with several nations and is produced under license in the United Kingdom by AgustaWestland. The improved AH-64E Apache Guardian that entered service in 2011 has superseded the Longbow.
Powered by two General Electric T700-GE-700 turboshafts engines high-mounted on either side of the fuselage, driving a four-blade main rotor and a four-blade scissor tail rotor. Armament consists of a single Chain Gun mounted between the main landing gear and under the forward fuselage. With six external hardpoints; four on the stub wings.
