[QUOTE="sferrin, post: 3982, member: 7600"] [quote="overscan"] 1972 US Army AAH Program : Competition for the Advanced Attack Helicopter was between the Hughes Model 77 (YAH-64) and the Bell 409 (YAH-63). Other contenders were the Boeing Vertol AAH and the Lockheed CL-1700, a Cheyenne derivative. The Hughes Model 77 was selected and designated the AH-64 Apache. [/quote] It's too bad they didn't use an improved Cheyenne itself as that CL-1700's ugliness is exceeded only by Boeing's entry. I wonder how a Cheyenne with Apache's avionics and sensors would do.
