This is the proposed ACP for the AH-64E.

Given the partnership members, I'm thinking an E-VTOL that is most of the size of a Predator.

The originally specified load was 200kg+ (so potentially 4x Brimstone/Hellfire/JAGM), which might point to something rather smaller. I'd expect a hybrid powertrain, rather than pure electric.

Predators are only 2x Hellfires.

Fair point.
