Rotorfest 2000 - AH-64A Apache Demonstration (1)

[MrTraktor1000]

what is the diffrent between ah 64a apache and ah 64d apache or it's there no diffrent?

[mooseandelk1]

@MrTraktor1000 have u seen the the radar that is usually on top of the rotor blades? that's the AH-64D the AH-64A doesn't got that :)

[Tangozulu7890]

@mooseandelk1 There are AH-64D's with out the radar the versiosn with the radar have the name Longbow behind it. AH-64A is just an older model

[Brulluhman]

cowards that apache can do loots more. /watch?v=Zq5Pnup-cBE

[KevToon61]

Dear Santa, I know rudolf is getting on a bit now but sit him in the back and just fucking deliver it now, please, ok I will just keep on dreaming.

[TEHGROUND]

@MegaMnguyen For all we know, they already have, this is only the stuff they are allowed to tell us about.

[nevildaking]

ENEMY APACHE INCOMING!!

[sohcsarewicked]

This is what Prince Harry flies , the younger brother of the one that got married.

[bluepheonex1989]

You know one day in the distant future the AH-64 Apache will be retired from service... and this is the first aircraft I have ever seen that gives me the impression it wouldn't come quietly!!

[blinky123abc]

Mi-28 would still rape this thing imo. Still a very good helicopter that has proven itself on many occasions. It certainly does its job well.

[IonoTheFanatics]

@blinky123abc considering that both both rotor gunship are armed and equipped similarly that is extremely unlikely, and most likely will come down to the skill of the pilot and overall battlefield control in which the US undoubtedly holds an overwhelming advantage in standard war.

if you were comparing it to Ka-50 then that may hold more weight as Ka-50 is indeed a relatively unusual and advanced design, though it demands extremely skilled pilot due to extreme load placed on Blackshark pilots.

[losik01]

Death, death, killing, shooting.

All USA

[bluepheonex1989]

@losik01 rubbish, ignorance, snotty comments, up their own arse.

All morons like you.

[TankNutJohn89]

The AH-64D Apache Block III is in Development, it includes a Radar with double Range, more powerfull Engines, and longer Rotor's. The Maiden Flight was in April 2010, and in July 2011 the US Army get's the first AH-64D Block III Apaches.

[MrAGAINSTamerica]

AN64 complete shit! Best helicopters in the world of КА-50 and КА -52! Apache on any fucking!

[TGTomtreanor]

@MrAGAINSTamerica i think you will find that that your wrong the AH-64 Apache is proven to be the most advanced helicopter in the world bearing mind that the comanche program was cancelled due to funding an insuficent need for a new chopper =) thumbs up for crappy russian scum helicopters =D and i think you will find its AH-64 not AN64 that is a russian rifle so i think that failed dramaticly :)

[akaboy4life]

apache has proven itself in many battles but its getting old....

[k0vert]

I wouldn't fuck with it. :)

[noob4253]

ENEMY CHOPPER INBOUND!

[abualborz]

what a beautiful Bird, common give me a RPG , iwanna eat some chickenchips to night. !!

[GRAFFITIxboxG]

so uhhh what size are those 22's?

[Neo2906]

i`m not the biggest fan of all these things, but the Apache and the A10 Warthog are two of the greatest things i`ve ever seen. !!

[lap116]

thats something i don't wanna meet in combat except on my side

its just send a message when you whatch it: "get the fuck out of my way ore feel my power"

[DriftKing1813]

Looks like huge Cobra snake that will attack you out of nowhere. Love this chopper.

[ApacheLongbow1225]

Most attack helis through the world who people claim that they're better than the Longbow are wrong because. the Apache is the worlds BEST COMBAT PROVEN HELICOPTER of all time

[BlackSunday89]

@ApacheLongbow1225 lol.. don't fucking cum all over yourself... these things are built to destroy and kill... how can you be proud of that and even make a youtube account named ApacheLongbow? i mean, seriously....

[0tmo0n]

" What does this button do?" *Click* BOOM!! "oops Sorry"

[carpetmonk]

if this is demonstration, those must be inert 'hellfire' right?

[Racecars721]

I live near Fort Indiantown Gap in Pennsylvania, I love seeing the apaches do training runs over my house. :)

[s60evolve]

Haha watching the dauphin go by I let my guard down, then the camera pivoted back to the apache and I was all "oh.. fuck."

[22640cal]

for the first 1:50 i didn't move, i was too afraid it would attack

[ZakTheRipper18]

No concept is more badass than that of a massive hovering heavy guns platform.

[EpikKustumz]

that is a monster in the air!...gorgeous!

[Qplofl]

after i watched this vid i felt like using it in a game XD

[rhodesworlld]

gotta love that alpha model

[Brucie7175]

omg...i think i just came

[jgtheman84]

@Brucie7175 me too

[svtang03]

airwolf anyone?

[barbarotico]

that is shit. we have beter helicopters

[DANIAC262]

@barbarotico Who is we?

[barbarotico]

@DANIAC262 We have flying saucers, not those flying rudiments. You will not know my nationality, hahaha.

[DANIAC262]

@barbarotico Is this Sylvester Stallone?

[NosoCOMINSOON]

God that thing is so mean lookin.

[VTF102]

@NosoCOMINSOON Lol Mean AND powerful The Apache is rumoured to have Stealth Capability, Virtually undetectble on Radar and has lots of power,

after all the Apache is a tank buster helicopter

[rodeo012]

I need one for mi work and para ir al mandado porque aqui en mexico there are many problems de a madre diria yo

nice video, congratulations gay, I liked

[Fasoaga3169]

american Mi28

heavy like elephant :)

[Bagwsp]

Pregnant Elephant* :D

[blulole27]

This is not a combat helo, it's an elephant! just nothing compared to the AW129 cbt!

[stevenesmond2]

Oh really - which one is rated top in the world... which one do you always see fighting in iraq or in afganistan... In short the apache rapes your AW129.

[jayoung472]

purs like a kitten, but bites like a dog!!!

[Kopihucky]

nice even with the blades turning on the camera you can still pick out the gap and notice that the blades are more X than +

[BoNgWaTeRdEmOn]

you are not too smart r u? the blades are in fact a + they have to be to be stable. i would know, i actually work on the airframe. i have taken way too many rotor blades off to be certain of that fact. you my friend are a moron.

[Kopihucky]

haha if you say so.. they are more of an X shape. Of course you work on the airframe and are an expert and really have nothing better to do with your time than go around on youtube lying and telling people they are morons. you sir obviously are a much better person than me.

[BoNgWaTeRdEmOn]

are you serious? find any 15R on this site and tell them the rotors are set up on an x shape not a + and see what thy say. how am i lying anyway? just because i actually know more about them due to the fact that i work on them? the tail rotor is set up in an x but not the main rotors. if you were talkin about the tail then you were right. the main rotors are a perfect + so they are balanced.

[Kopihucky]

i say ur lying cuz everyone on utube is a self proclaimed expert. lotta liars here and with a name like bong water i wouldn want you being a mechanic on my bird

[stevenesmond2]

Seeing as you work on the airframe i wonder if you could answer me on this - how come the tail rotor on the apache are an X - i have seen it in many photos and was wondering...

Cheers

[BoNgWaTeRdEmOn]

i actually posed the same question to my instructor at ft. eustis when i was going through my schooling to become a 15R and his answer was " it doesnt matter what shape the tail rotor is as long as it produces enough force to counterbalance the main rotor". im sorry that i dont have a better answer dor you, but that was the one given to me, it is an odd angle though

[stevenesmond2]

Thanks alot - i was wondering about that and just couldn't figure it out!

Steve

[LowVp]

reduces noise

[Idontknowgoodnames]

@stevenesmond2 it reduces the noise and its more effective. thats what i heard.

[callizor]

the rondome on top make sit look sweeter, either way it sbadass

[BoNgWaTeRdEmOn]

i asked at work and the answer is this: it is a noise to power ratio problem. the configuration of the tail rotor blades is such because if it were the same as lets say a UH-60 blackhawks tail rotor it would be way too loud. most of the noise you hear from a helicopter is tail rotor.

[Deigs007]

Reduces noise signiture of the tail rotor.

[apacheguy1981]

I was told in flight school that the blades are positioned at 55deg. angles so it is easier to work on.

[firefatkid]

if you heat the apache its beacuse it ran out of ammo and is leaving but then its friend comes and kills you if you even have that kind time in between that is lololol

[Logitechmasters]

the apache is old......the best one in the whole world is the TIGER

[Prometheus203]

The Apache is one of the most advanced and proven attack helicopters ever built... Your Tiger has a long road to go before it can claim that title, and even if the Apache isn't number one anymore the Tiger still isn't as good as the Comanche would have been or some the Russian choppers.

[SheepJumpFish]

I agree with the apache bit but the commanche isn't even being made anymore becuase it failed so badly. kind of but the apache is better then RAH

[Scorpac]

@Prometheus203 the Tiger is the most advanced attack helicopter in the world. the technologie used by it is unmatched by any other attack helicopter in the world. thats fact.

[beerndumplings]

@Prometheus203 gundams are better than apaches

[himmler251]

@beerndumplings ill take a zaku over a apache anyday

[SheepJumpFish]

The longbow isn't too old, especially westlands vesion

[bwguidry]

The Apache is badass! It looks absolutely SCARY! I mean, if I were the enemy and I had an Apache staring me down, I would piss on myself!

[PutNameHere15]

You wouldn't even have time to piss yourself

[Logitechmasters]

jeah but the tiger is faster and smaller

but jes this helicopter is really scary.

[kvmairforce]

The Hind D is my favorite helicopter for years, with it's sound and menacing look, but the Apache is so cool and out class any current chopper. I think if I was on the other side, I might poop my pants.

[dwylinmiller]

Another way to improve the movie would be to loose the music. I don't understand why it's so important to have music in the video. If you could hear the what the speaker is saying and also hear the great sound of the Helecopter itsself.

[bigpyoopypants]

I live near here, lol, but at the time I was in 6th grade. ;)

[PaIatine]

I'm glad that so many people now are paying tribute to the AH-64 instead of arguing about the Russian built Mi-28 Havok which all foreigners out of hatred for America think that it can beat the Apache in a dogfight. Which would pretty much be unreal.

[Baculus]

No shit, man. I am tired of stupid "aircraft A vs. aircraft B" arguments. I tell you what - if I saw this AH-64 in front of me, live, in action, it would be one of the biggest thrills of my life. Along with any excellent piece of military hardware, which would include a Russian Hind-24.

People just get stuck in dumb arguments instead of appreciating engineering for what it is.

Plus, the Longbow is the baddest helicopter on Earth. :)

[PaIatine]

No doubt. I don't know why people are constantly arguing about how this helicopter can beat the Apache. Bottom line; no it can't. No helicopter can beat the Apache, that includes air combat, search and destroy and destroying targets on the ground.

I like the MI-24 Hind, I always have. It may be large but it can move, and the sound that helicopter generates is truly awesome.

[ihping]

Actually the Kiowa is a by far better bird for searching, then again that is why a Kiowa flies with the Apache.

[PaIatine]

That was true before the Apache Longbow C's and D's were unveiled. Also the Kiowa's needed to lase the targets for the Apache's.

[SheepJumpFish]

I can't see there being any need for upgrading or making any new scout helicopters like the Kiowa or Gazelle now with UAVs

[slarmas]

Every helicopter is designed for a specific task. If your task is carrying lots of wounded off the battle field the Apache would be horrible. If your task is making tanks go away then it is very good. If it is looking cool that is pure opinion but IMHO they are all beautiful and incredible machines. When it comes to how well they fly I would say most of the ability comes from a well trained pilot. If your the guy on the ground being hunted both of these copters are bad news :) (RE Tiger)

[Kopihucky]

the russian hind seems to be good in all roles. Its not as maneuverable but has some really crazy capabilities

[sb55mv]

What a fantastic heli.

But, you know what really spoils this video, the constant zooming in and out all the time, and why didn't you move out of the way of the speaker.

With these two things in mind this would have been a flawless video.

[smilingdog5]

that was so cool

[roadrcr81082]

god what a beautiful bird. just the presence of power like that is amazing.
