THIS IS THE RAH-66 COMANCHE MANUFACTURED BY BOEING HELICOPTERS AND SIKORSKY AIRCRAFT CORPORATION.THIS RECONNAISSANCE ATTACK HELICOPTER WAS DESIGNED FOR RECONNAISSANCE,INCORPORATING STEALTH TECHNIQUES AND IT WAS DESIGNATED TARGETS FOR THE AH-64 APACHE.THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE RAH 66 PROGRAM WAS CANCELLED IN 2004 BEFORE IT WAS FIELDED.THE REASON THE RAH 66 WAS CANCELED BECAUSE THE RECONNAISSANCE ROLE ARE MORE SUITABLE FOR THE UAV AND UACV WHICH ARE MORE COST EFFECTIVE AND MORE SAFER TO USE IN SERVICE RIGHT NOW.BUT MY OPINION THIS HELICOPTER HAS A POTENTIAL TO BE THE MOST ADVANCE HELICOPTER THE WORLD HAS EVER SEEN. WITH 2 LHTEC T800 TURBOSHAFTS 1,432hp (1,068 kw) ITS MAXIMUM SPEED CAN REACH UP TO 175 KNOTS (201 mph,324 kmh) AND RANGE UP TO 262 nmi (302 mi, 485 km), SERVICE CEILING ABOUT 14,980ft (4,566m) MAKES THE COMANCHE ONE OF THE MOST HIGH PERFORMANCE HELICOPTER.IT IS EQUIPPED WITH 1× 20 mm XM301 THREE-BARREL CANNON MOUNTED IN A TURRETED GUN SYSTEM (500 round capacity), 6 HELLFIRE OR 6 STINGERS (ATAS) or 24 HYDRA 70 2.75 in (70 mm) AIR-TO-GROUND ROCKETS.IF THIS MACHINE OF DEATH ARE PUT INTO SERVICE LETS JUST HOPE U NEVER COME ACROSS WITH IT.
