The U.S. Army and Boeing Rotorcraft are enhancing the capabilities that made the AH-64A Apache the best attack helicopter in the world. These enhancements are resulting in the most capable, fully integrated, combat weapons platform for the twenty-first century: the AH-64D Apache Longbow.
The Boeing (McDonnell Douglas, formerly Hughes) AH-64A Apache is the US Army's primary attack helicopter, and the most advanced helicopter gunship flying today. The most expensive rotary-winged aircraft ever built when it was introduced in the early 1980s, it has since proved its worth on battlefields all over the world, seeing action in the Gulf War, Afghanistan, Bosnia, Kosovo and the recent conflict in Iraq. This book examines the design, development and deployment of a quick-reacting, airborne weapons system that can fight close and deep to destroy, disrupt, or delay enemy forces.
The Boeing AH-64 Apache is an attack helicopter developed in the United States of America since the early seventies. Use a main rotor and one tail, both with four blades. The helicopter is designed as a twin-engine two-seater in tandem, for use in anti-tank missions, assault, escort and fighter anti-helicopter, to be carried out in all weather conditions and light. The main armament consists of an automatic cannon M230 chain gun caliber 30 mm. It can be equipped with a combination of anti-tank missiles, rockets and air-to-air attached to the side flaps. The Apache is the primary attack helicopter of the US Army and the successor to the Bell AH-1 Cobra. It was designed by Hughes Helicopters to meet the requirements of the program "Helicopter Attack Advanced" (AAH) launched by the US Army in 1972. Later, the McDonnell Douglas acquired Hughes Helicopters and continued the development of the AH-64, AH-64D Apache getting the Longbow. After various corporate events, the project was awarded to Boeing Defense, Space & Security that continued production for the US requirements and for export to other countries. Apaches saw the first operational deployment in battle during the commitment of the US Army during the invasion of Panama in 1989. Other uses of war helicopter from the US Army were the 1991 Gulf War, the Kosovo war in 1999, the war in Afghanistan in 2001 and the war in Iraq 2003. The AH-64 Israelis have participated in all major military operations in his country since the nineties.
Nuova edizione riveduta e aggiornata. Il Boeing AH-64 Apache è un elicottero d'attacco sviluppato negli Stati Uniti d'America a partire dagli anni settanta. Utilizza un rotore principale e uno di coda, entrambi a quattro pale. L'elicottero è stato concepito come bimotore biposto in tandem, per l'impiego in missioni anticarro, assalto, scorta e caccia anti-elicottero, da svolgere in ogni condizione di tempo e di luce. L'armamento principale è costituito da un cannone automatico M230 Chain Gun calibro 30 mm. Può venire equipaggiato con una combinazione di missili anticarro, razzi e missili aria-aria agganciati alle alette laterali. L'Apache è il principale elicottero d'attacco dell'esercito degli Stati Uniti e il successore del Bell AH-1 Cobra. Fu progettato dalla Hughes Helicopters per soddisfare i requisiti del programma "elicottero d'attacco avanzato" (in inglese AAH o Advanced Attack Helicopter) varato dall'U.S. Army nel 1972. In seguito, la McDonnell Douglas acquisì la Hughes Helicopters e continuò lo sviluppo dell'AH-64, ottenendo l'AH-64D Apache Longbow. Al termine di varie vicende societarie, il progetto è stato acquisito dalla Boeing Defense, Space & Security che ne continua la produzione per le esigenze statunitensi e per l'esportazione verso altri paesi. Gli Apache hanno visto il primo impiego operativo in battaglia in occasione dell'impegno dell'U.S. Army durante l'invasione di Panama del 1989. Altri impieghi bellici dell'elicottero da parte dell'esercito statunitense sono stati la Guerra del Golfo del 1991, la guerra del Kosovo nel 1999, la guerra in Afghanistan del 2001 e la guerra d'Iraq del 2003. Gli AH-64 israeliani hanno partecipato a tutte le principali operazioni militari del proprio paese a partire dagli anni novanta.
