I'm in the aviation field, I read Aviation Week, which has lots of features on helicopters and my father was an Army aviator who flew both fixed and rotary wing aircraft. I knew the Apache was an attack helicopter and that picture wasn't it. The only companies that make big choppers are Bell, Sikorsky and some European manufacturers like Westland, Augusta or Eurocopter. You can tell from the picture that it isn't European and Sikorsky makes the Navy and Air Force cargo variants that have a very similar fuselage. A quick trip to the Sikorsky web site got me the right designation.Originally Posted by Fiberoptic

UCAV's use Xbox360 controllers lol... Why spend daft money on technology that already exists and is well priced?Why would he regularly install "MP3CAR" or "Lilliput" products in an Apache Helicopter...Is MP3CAR or Lilliput a Department of Defence Approved Vendor?
Or is this his personal Apache.
Excellent comparison anyways.
Why bump a year old thread to show that you have alittle bit of knowledge about something?
Because it came up in a search and I didn't look at the dates... Thanks for the response made my day.
