AH-64D Longbow Apache History:The
AH-64 Longbow is an attack helicopter developed to replace the AH-1
Cobra. Primarily used by the U.S Army, the AH-4 first flown on
October 1 1975 and produced in 1984. The helicopter can accommodate
2 crews: 1 pilot and a copilot/gunner. The copilot/gunner sits in
the rear seat, which is raised and has good all-round visibility.
The two 1690shp General Electric T700-GE-701 turbines are mounted on
either side of the fuselage, behind the rotor transmission, in two
separate nacelles. The four-blade metal rotor is of the articulated
type with the blades angled at 60°/120° in relation to each other
to reduce noise levels. The tail unit, which was modified during the
aircraft's second development phase, includes an all-moving tail
plane positioned slightly above the tail boom and a vertical fin to
replace the earlier T-tail of the prototype. The tailwheel landing
gear is fixed.
The AH-64D, an advanced variant of Apache Longbow, is equipped
with an improved sensor suite and weapon systems. It has very
similar features with the AH-64C series with the exception of having
a removable radar. The Longbow radar is a millimeter wave radar
produced by Northrop Grumman and can guide the potent Hellfires
through radar seeking frequencies for an even more improved kill
ratio. The AH-64D Apache Longbow is powered with an updated engine
(General Electric T700-GE-701C of 1,890 shaft horsepower). The
AH-64D Longbow also features noticeable radome (Fire Control Radar -
FCR - target acquisition system) on top of main rotor mast, updated
navigation and communications, improved crew survivability,
integrated radio-based moden for multiple target tracking, planned
UAV support function, and further systems digitization.
