DID YOU KNOW? – The fuselage design of the AH-64 ensures crew survival at a vertical impact of 42 feet per second. The structure of the AH-64 is designed to allow it to withstand hits from high explosive rounds of up to 23-mm. The two tail rotor blades cross at 55^o, which reduces the amount of noise they generate. Apache Longbow crews can even communicate without any one speaking. Apache Longbow's radar can scan, detect, and classify more than 128 targets, prioritize the 16 most dangerous ones, transmit the information to other aircraft, and initiate an attack all in less than 30 seconds.
