Introduction
Helicopters are the most versatile flying machines in existence
today.
Here we talk about the latest war machine flying around war
fields The Apache Helicopter.
Most of the country like United State, Afghanistan, Greece,
Japan, Israel, the Netherlands and Singapore use Apache as their
primary war machine.
In this topic, we will look at the Apaches amazing flight systems,
engines, weapon systems, sensor system and armour systems.

Main Parts
Apache Engine

Turbo shaft jet engines are used.


Principle- Suck, Squeeze, Burn
and Blow.
Power is transmitted from the
engine using a main gearbox
Aerodynamic Forces
LIFT

THRUST
DRAG

WEIGHT
Working

Slight angle of attack given to


shaft and spins the shaft.
Power is transmitted from
engine to rotor by gearbox
Tail rotor produces thrust.
Sideways thrust resists engines
desire to spin the body.
Apaches Weapons
Hellfire missile- Primary weapon
Each missile is miniature aircraft.
- Guidance computer
- steering control
- Propulsion system
Carries missile on four firing rails.
Can carry 16 missile at a time.
Hellfire, uses Laser guidance system.
Hellfire-, uses radar seeker.
Control & Sensors
Controls manipulate rotors using_
- Mechanical hydraulic system,
- Digital stabilization system.
Swash Plate Mechanism_
- Collective control,
- Cyclic control.
sensor equipment
- Radar dome
- Radar signal processor
- Night vision sensor
Armor System
Evade enemy radar scanning
A radar jammer to confuse the
enemy
Surrounded by Kevlar soft
armor
The cockpit is protected by
layers of reinforced armor and
bulletproof glass.
Evade heat seeking missiles
Applications
The principal intended mission of the
Apache is the destruction of high
value targets with the HELLFIRE
missile.
It is also capable of employing chain
gun and family of rockets that are
lethal against a wide variety of targets.
American Apaches were used since
1989 in Panama, Gulf War, Bosnia,
Kosovo and in the Iraq war.
Conclusion
With the design of the apache, the very concept of helicopter itself
has changed all over the world.
Many countries like Russia, Germany etc. have rolled over their
versions of attack helicopters.
Longer-range weapons accuracy and all-weather/night fighting
Detection of objects (moving or stationary) without being detected
Laser, infrared, and other systems to locate, track, and attack targets
Designed to survive heavy attack.
Holds 1st position among revolutionary helicopters.
Future Scope
The latest generation AH-64E Apache helicopters, made by Boeing with
support from a series of UK supply chain companies. It has a better
engine that delivers 3,400 shaft horsepower compared to its
predecessors 2,854. It has a new gearbox, an improved drive system and
is lighter on fuel, meaning it can go further as well as faster.
The new Apache is a game-changer in defence against global threats. Its
presence will deter most enemies, helping to maintain the peace for years
to come.
In Afghanistan, it was known as the monster because it could strike fear
and attack the enemy wherever they were, day or night. Today it often
works in tandem with heavy-lifters like the Chinook to provide extra
cover and security on missions.
