I played a lot helicopter simulators. The Comanche was one of my favourite helicopters. Fast and manoeuvres very fast and direct. And at the time it was the first stealth chopper. But it has only a few weapons in its two hidden bays. For short stealth operation its the perfect helicopter. Seek shoot and destroy and after this run hide and reload.
Novalogic games were the shit. I still remember the shelf full of oddly shaped Comanche boxes at our local Software, ETC. Voxels were like living in the future.
PLOT TWIST: They weren't "Cancelled", they were CLASSIFIED. They're probably being secretly deployed in manned and unmanned variant's around the world.
The US Army developed the AH-56 Cheyenne due to frustration with the US Air Force's lack of dedicated close-air support aircraft during the Vietnam War. At the time the USAF had many supersonic fighters and old Korean War-era propeller-driven attack aircraft, but neither were good for advanced/modern close-air support aircraft. Then the US Air Force said the US Army's AH-56 project was violating the 1948 Key West Agreement and taking over the close-air support role which was supposed to be the USAF's responsibility. The fact that the new attack helicopter was high-speed, included wings and pusher-propeller likely made them fear it would eventually lead to a fixed-wing Army attack aircraft in the future. The development of the AH-56 concerned the USAF and forced them to develop the A-10 Warthog. When the AH-56 was cancelled, the Air Force was now forced to continue with production of the A-10, otherwise the Army would develop another CAS aircraft on their own instead again. In the end, there were still gaps and the Army developed the AH-64 Apache, though it was slower and simpler than the AH-56. 米陸軍がAH-56シャイアンを開発したのは、ベトナム戦争中に米空軍が近接航空支援専用機を欠いていたことへの不満からだった。当時、米空軍は多くの超音速戦闘機や朝鮮戦争時代の古いプロペラ攻撃機を持っていたが、どちらも先進的／近代的な近接航空支援機には向いていなかった。そして米空軍は、米陸軍のAH-56プロジェクトが1948年のキーウェスト協定に違反し、米空軍の責任であるはずの近接航空支援の役割を引き継いでいると言った。この新型攻撃ヘリコプターが高速で、翼とプッシャープロペラを備えていることから、将来的に陸軍の固定翼攻撃機につながることを恐れたのだろう。AH-56の開発はアメリカ空軍を悩ませ、A-10ワーソグの開発を余儀なくさせた。AH-56がキャンセルされると、空軍はA-10の生産を続けざるを得なくなり、そうでなければ陸軍はまた別のCAS機を独自に開発することになる。結局、まだギャップがあり、陸軍はAH-64アパッチを開発したが、それはAH-56よりも遅く、単純だった。
By the way both the Cheyenne and the Cobra were developed at the same time with the Cobra actually getting the contract as the Army's first attack helicopter.
Most helicopters are. The cameras are also either close to it and/or it’s flying over flat concrete so the cameras also catch the echo. Even the Apache is deceptively quiet when flying over grasslands and treetops, or high up in a dark night. And the Comanche was tested to be only half as loud as the Apache.
@@Gillymonster18 oh yeah, Military helicopters are suprisingly quiet. Live in a area that gets alot of Airforce activity. We see blackhawks all the time, compared to civilian choppers you cant hear them until they are nearly on top of you.
@@strategygalactic "It wouldn't get shot down by missiles." WTF? Most missiles from the ground are heat seeking missiles e.g. the Stinger. Stealth do you no good. Also, Ukraine war has shown that drones are a much better and cost effective weapons than costly helicopters. Time to wake up and smell the coffee!
I have flown the Comanche.. loved the Hell fire missiles . Once the Hell missile is locked on target you can quickly lock on another target and so on. Multiple kills in seconds!
I wish they would do a remake of Air Wolf where Stringfellow steals one of the prototype Comanches. Wouldn't even need to make stuff up like flying at mach one either because the actual specs of the Comanche were good enough to be unbelievable!
In hindsight, the cancellation of this program was good. As we know today, this helicopter wouldn't have been helpful in any of the conflicts America has been in up until now, it wouldn't have been a deterrence to any conflict that did occur, and the Army doesn't want new manned attack/reconnaissance helicopters as they cancelled FARA, in favor of drone warfare. This would've been a massive waste of money to continue with the program.
True, i dont think stealth combined with significantly lower IR signature would save it in the modern warfare and still would be vulnerable to manpads and AAA. Just look at russian rotary wing looses in ukraine🙂
@@JPmaxlevelZumwalt isn't a waste. It's just that the weapons it needs to make the ship a viable weapons platform haven't been invented yet except the laser. Don't worry, that ship will come good eventually.
Finthen West Germany 1986, the first Apache came to fly demonstrations in Europe. I was walking back from the px with a case of "water "on my shoulders when I heard it. As a blackhawk mechanic, I could tell it was four bladed. It came flying down the flight line sideways at 60mph! I can only imagine how bad this Comanchee could have been. Another aircraft left to die, because some politician's family had stock in some other company. The F-22 line should have never shut down. I used to see those go on their maiden test flights with F-16 chase planes. They were very impressive for the time, 2003, ish? We've made some great aircraft, but the politicians almost always kill the good ones.
I remember being disappointed when this program was canceled. we are long past needing to replace the Apache and Cobra. And Blackhawk for that matter. I know theirs program's under way, but they're not here now. But imagine one of these Comanches with the new Anduril barracuda 100s!? Pimp! Stealth with the long range would be incredible. Oh well
Part of that range comes from altitude but 120NM is crazy. Kilometers per hour (km/h): 500 knots is approximately 926 km/h1. Meters per second (m/s): 500 knots is approximately 257.22 m/s2. Mach: 500 knots is approximately 0.75 Mach It's so slow counter battery will be a problem.
even if it wasn't cancelled, I don't think it was meant to replace heavy hitters like the Apache, this is more of a stealth reconnaissance helicopter that happens to have some firepower.
Drones only replaced reconnaissance helicopters. Ground forces still need attack helicopter fire support, so the United States will continue to develop new attack helicopters and transport helicopters
i guess from C&C general zero hour stealth commanche to IRL that is very real i bet general granger from C&C general zero hour would love this Commanche XD
That fenestron tail rotor is so iconic! Btw, are there any plans to weaponise the OH-1? It would be way cheaper than buying more American stuff that ends up costing four times more than the original cost!

For the time the engines are strong but nowadays we can make something with twice as much hp for its weight and this thing would be a dam invisible rocket
이걸 보면서 회전익기의 한계인 속도와 소리를 줄일 방법은. 잠자리형 날개다. 제자리 비행, 회전, 정속주행, 모두 가능하고. 악천후엔 날개를 두개씩 가동함으로 좀더 안정성을 가져갈 수 있음. 또한 고속비행일땐 날개를 뒤로 접고 스포츠카 부스터처럼 순간적인 고속비행도 할 수 있다면 좀더 낫지 않을까.
You’re talking Airwolf technology. Because of how air density works at different speeds, helicopters can’t exceed the speed of sound without wasting a lot of power. Not to mention because the wings can only rotate so fast, the faster the helicopter moves forward, the less lift the wings spinning rearward will generate, and the wings spinning to the front get a lot more. Beyond a certain speed, Helicopters moving forward will want to roll over. Also called “dissymmetry of lift.”
The most beautiful helicopter ever made, this concept in latest 40 years feels like todays concepts war machines. What a beauty 😍
Even the Apache was absolute beauty till nowadays. So proud we are allies!
But sir . . .IT WAS NOT EVER MADE! The TWO examples are both in museums . . . .

開発中止になった軍用ヘリといったら、AH-56シャイアンもありますね。
AH-56は新機軸を盛り込みすぎて価格高騰を招いたのと、運用構想の変化が中止の原因でしたね。
