The AH-64D Longbow is the upgraded version of the initial AH-64A. The enhancements include the new advanced fire control system, new hellfire missile capabilities, new and more powerful engines, and a new electronics suite for much greater lethality. Although built on a similar platform, the Longbow is immediately identifiable by the mast mounted fire control radar assembly.
Designed to meet a US Army requirement for an advanced attack helicopter, the AH-64 was first flown on September 30th, 1975. Called "The Apache," this formidable helicopter replaced the AH-1 Cobra as the principal attack helicopter for the US Army. At the time of its introduction, the Apache was revolutionary, with an innovative helmet mounted display and improved crash survivability. It is heavily armored and has been called a "Flying Tank," not only because of its defenses but also because of its ability to inspire fear on the battlefield. The Apache has become a symbol of Army airpower, serving in both Gulf Wars and in Afghanistan. © Copyright 2003-2024 The Flying Mule, Inc.
