    The AW249 is what a Hughes designer would have drawn if asked "what would you have done differently" 40 years later.
    Same concept, similar weight, similar role, similar payload, different execution.
    BTW, Leonardo both designed and maintained the Aw129 for 35 years and also provides assembly, modifications and maintainable for the AH64 in service with the UK Army

      The concept isn't the same, nor the heli weight (the AW249 is way lighter), the paylod also isn't the same (the AW249 can carry the double in weight than the Apache, speaking about weapons) you are confusing "max weight at payload" with "MTOW" two different things.
      Actually Leonardo build the AH64 for UK, not only provides spare parts.

    The MTOW can mislead people thinking that the Apache can carry more weapons at payload, but that's false.
    The MTOW include the whole weight so heli weight, fuel, weapons.
    Actualky the Apache can carry as weapon at Paylod at max 1995 kilos, where thr AW249 can carry 2.800 kilos.
    You will ask "how could be possible that the Apache can carry less weapon weight if it have an higher MTOW?" The answer it's simple, the Apache, unloaded, weight more than the AW249 that have fly by wire controllers so an huge weight reduction. Apache does not have fly by wire.

      I’m not sure where you’re getting these numbers for max payload but for the Apache you’re incorrect. And the Apache does have a fly by wire flight control system, it’s called BUCS. But it’s a back up control system, not primary

      And nope, the Apache WILL HAVE fly by wire in the future Block III upgrade (AH64E Guardian), but it doesn't have it now.
      Plus, a Block III Apache, so his last development phase, will be almost on pair, but not in everything, with the AW249 that is at his first projectual phase. It's all to say.

      MTOW indicates the weight of the helicopter overall, not just the weapons. in reality the AW249, weighing less, can carry equal or heavier armaments. on speed for now it seems slightly slower but has a much greater range of action.

    • @Maddog-xc2zv
      @Maddog-xc2zv 2 дні тому +3

      The 249 can carry a higher payload than the Apache. Your messing numbers of Payload Weight and MTOW - maximum take off weight: as the apache is way heavier than the 249, in the end the weight of it's payload is inferior to the 249 because the Apache frame is way heavier. It's like a 2 tons of payload on the Apache and almost 3 tons of payload on the Leonardo' s Attack Chopper. Just do the math, knowing the concepts you're using. Cheers

    • @solinvictus1234
      @solinvictus1234 День тому +4

      It doesn't lift less, but almost the double more than the Apache, speaking of weapons at the payload. And since the AW249 is way lighter than the Apache (fly by wire and other new integrated tech) i think that, if the data about max cruiser speed and max speed are correct, the engine was tweaked in torque power and rpm to have an advantage on the MTOW and not on speed. Considering also that the maximum operative range is the double of the Apache, as the hours it can remain operative in the sky.

      But, it still means that back in the days the americans did a good job in design it. And of course through time the Apache received upgrades and innovations. While the Phoenix is just at the start of it's life. So it have plenty of room to develop.
      Who knows what kind of capabilities can reach this copter in future? We will see.
      Meanwhile we know that America and Italy togheter have excellent military capabilities and cooperation. Togheter we make this world safest day by day.
