No single engine aircraft is allowed to fly without being a twin engine to fly by instruments alone. Truly a rotary winger to be contended with. What a great machine ! Thanks a bunch. Great post!
Can't fly on instruments without twin engines? Did no one proofread this? Army and Marine pilots have flown tens of thousands of hours in combat on single engine Hueys and Sikorskys, not to mention the OH6 and Bell Jetrangers.
I live right down the road from this plant. It's always a treat to see them flight test the helicopter. They hover over Higley Rd and then take off like nothing you've seen before!
For several years, my wife was head of the Apache air frame while at Redstone Arsenal, (AMCOM) in Huntsville, AL... I was able to go with her to the Mesa plant...Originaly a Hughes Helo.
5:30 The primary fuel for this aircraft is JP-8/Jet A-1 which is basically Kerosene. JP-8 has a flashpoint about twice as high gasoline making it less volatile. Additionally, Octane is a property of gasoline that basically refers to the stability of the fuel. Higher octane reduces auto-ignition or per-ignition from pressures in a cylinder and reducing "engine knock". JP-8/Jet A-1 fuel in a combustion (diesel) engine use cylinder pressures along with a glow plug to ignite the fuel. I would suspect if octane was measured in JP-8/Jet A-1, that it is relatively low compared to gasoline. The narration is wrongly stating that the fuel is high octane with the intent to make the fuel sound extremely volatile, which simply not the case relative to other fuel types.
I flew with JP-4 for several years before JP-8 became more widely used. We switched over to JP-8 during the first Gulf War because it was less volatile and more readily available. We even used it in all of our diesel vehicles. And since then the military has been using it as their primary turbine engine fuel.
🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 00:04 🚁 The Apache Longbow is the world's most advanced, fastest, and elusive attack helicopter, designed to eliminate enemies and known as the "Tank Killer". 00:32 🏭 The Apache is manufactured at Boeing's extensive facility in Mesa, Arizona, which spans 2.15 million square feet and produces 40 Apache helicopters each year. 01:27 🛠️ The Apache is meticulously handcrafted by a skilled team of 160 members, emphasizing high quality and safety, featuring robust armor and advanced technology to withstand enemy ground fire and perform stealthy attacks. 02:21 🕰️ The demand for Apache helicopters began in the 1970s due to the shortcomings of existing helicopters, leading to the development of a helicopter capable of armed combat, night flights, surprise attacks, and withstanding harsh conditions. 03:16 🛡️ The construction involves the utilization of thousands of rivets and lightweight aluminum plates to enhance its maneuverability and speed, while the armor, including bulletproof foam plastic and Kevlar, is applied to make the Apache as bullet-resistant as possible, especially around the fuel tank. 05:33 ⛽ The Apache has two main fuel tanks featuring unique self-sealing compounds, capable of automatically sealing itself even if punctured by a bullet, with the cockpit and components made bulletproof from all angles, and the glass can endure up to a 23 mm caliber hit. 06:55 🔄 The assembly process, known as a pulse line assembly, is meticulous, with each Apache spending three days at each station, being manually moved to the next station, following a series of enhancement processes including installing protective armor and powerful engines. 07:37 🐆 The Apache's powerful 1800 horsepower engine enables it to reach top speeds of 200 miles per hour and accelerate from zero to 62 miles per hour in 4.6 seconds, outpacing a Porsche sports car. 08:33 🌡️ To avoid heat-seeking missiles, the Apache employs a unique suppression system to cool the exhaust gases, making the helicopter more challenging to track, and in case of fire, automated shutters block air intake to extinguish the flames. 09:56 🎯 The Apache is armed with advanced weapon systems including the Hellfire missile, capable of piercing five centimeters of armor from eight kilometers away, the Hydra rocket, and a 30 millimeter chain gun that can fire 1200 rounds per minute and is aimed by the pilot's gaze. 10:10 🖥️ Following the Gulf War, advanced technology components were added to enhance the Apache's capabilities, making it a world-class war machine, deployed by 13 countries worldwide. 10:25 🖥️ In the early 1990s, the Apache was updated to include a modern computer system to share information with ground forces, featuring a fully digital cockpit with new displays for targeting radar and night vision. 10:53 🌐 The Apache is fitted with 13 kilometers of wiring, equivalent to the wiring in 43 Eiffel Towers, meticulously connected to 1500 junction points, requiring meticulous installation and testing. 11:35 🎯 The Apache’s targeting system in its nose turret is equipped with a video camera, telescope, night vision sensors, and a robust radar mechanism, allowing the pilot's visual range to extend beyond 20 kilometers. 12:46 📡 The latest Apache models feature the Longbow radar system, capable of sweeping a 360-degree field in the air and a 270-degree field on the ground, distinguishing between friend and foe and allowing opportune missile launches without enemy detection. 13:43 🔄 To counter the noise produced by the rotor, the Apache is equipped with a cruciform double rotor; by altering the tilt angle of each rotor, their noises can counteract one another, making the Apache quieter. 14:12 🚁 The main rotor's blades, essential for liftoff and made to withstand the stress of various maneuvers, are securely attached using a fixed style mast rotation hub, allowing the Apache to perform dives, rolls, or sharp turns safely. 15:07 🛠️ The Apache's rotor, made from durable and lightweight titanium and stainless steel, spins at over 1200 RPM during flight and can withstand artillery fire and extreme weather conditions without affecting the helicopter’s normal flight. 15:48 🧪 After rotor installation, the Apache undergoes various tests including component checks, balance tests, engine tests, airborne tests, and hovering tests to ensure its readiness for delivery. 16:15 🌐 Concluding a three-month assembly process, the Apache Longbow, renowned as the world's most advanced attack helicopter, undergoes a final test for maximum acceleration before its maiden flight.

Yes, I know all about the Apache. I started my career in the military as a AH-1 Cobra mechanic, I then went to flight school and served with 2 different Apache units. I went to Desert Shield/Sword/Storm with an Apache Cavalry unit out of Germany. After my stint in the military I became a military contractor working on the Apaches. I had over 25yrs working on the Apache before I retired. I had worked on all series of the airframe as a mechanic then team leader them technical inspector. I loved my experience with the Apache Helicopter. It truly is a masterpiece. And Yes, The Apache is surely a "TANK KILLER"!!!!
Yeah, the narration is as careless as the video footage they choose to go with it; e.g. clip of helicopter firing the unguided rockets while narrating something about the hellfires.
Go for it brother. Its a LOT of work and a hell of a lot to remember and keep up with while you are in flight. I wish you the best of luck. I enjoyed the hell out of flying scout helicopters myself. Max airspeed at tree top level and sometimes below. It was a blast.
@@bigs6566 The Ruzzies developed a cool ejection system for the KA-50/52. Thing is when you're hauling ass NOE (Nap Of the Earth (very, very, very low)) you don't have time to pull the ejection handle, or if you did, it meant a sure Death. Great videos on RUclips about that issue in the Ukrain War.
@@lgsmith67 to be fair I've yet to see a ka-52 use an ejection seat in the war in Ukraine after being shot down. I would like to see it release the main rotor hub and eject them as they say in Russia on how the ejection system works.
@@alfredozertuche784 I have a feeling that it would take too long to release the ejection hub unless you were going down at a slower pace or higher up. If you are hit by a MADPAD or SAM you just don't have the time and even more so at the heights they have to fly. Which is why I laugh when the Vatnik fanboys talk about it.
Letting The World know just enough is a key component of our military and political doctrine. For 75 years, the Soviet Union/Russia and then China have touted weapons systems advancements that rarely delivered what was stated. The US would then actually build a weapons system to address the "supposed" advancement of the other side. The Foxbat bomber is just such a system. We designed the F-15 to combat that jet, but then a defector gave us one and we learned it was a bucket of bolts, but now we had the F-15 and air dominance on any theater of war. This reality allowed DARPA and the weapons manufacturers to go so much further than anyone else. There was no longer an issue in the air, so let's make Aegis, HIMARS, Patriot, Stealth, and implement precision guided munitions at all levels, with bullets soon to exist. The US advantage is so much more vast that people realize.
1:57 I highly doubt the Hell Fire missiles are installed during production. Think it probably should say something like the hard points and electronics for the Hell Fire missiles are installed.
This Is an Amazing Helicopter!!!.....I Hope the people that work on it, Realize American Lives Depend On Their Expertise to get them There, And Back Home!!!!
Also, the tail rotor has CONSTANT power provided by the tail rotor drive shaft from the main transmission. Directional rotation is provided by altering the pitch angle of the blades. Just like the Main Rotor control system.
There are a few mistakes in the video such as the pilots ability to detonate det cord and parachute from the helicopter in an emergency. Just not a possibility.
Am a humble prop pilot and can never understand why someone would fly a rotary wing that needs 2 beat the air into submission to stay airborne. Its a pilot thingy but I must agree is a beast indeed.
I toured this facility when it was McDonnell Douglas in the 1990s it looks much the same and there is a range where they test the helicopters as you leave the facility they're often helicopters that are being pushed to the Limit
It must be fantastic to work at a business where EVERYONE cares about the quality of their work. Sadly, I'm sure that I and many others will never know.
The Apache helicopter is not the fastest helicopter in the world, the Westland Lynx is the fastest and holds the Guinness world record for its top speed 249 mph The Apache is an amazing helicopter though
Wait till sikorsky S97 raider and Bell 360 Invictus arrived. They both will have an airspeed greater than westland. Bell 280 valor tiltrotor aircraft can fly more than 500km/h
The wests "paper tiger" weapons have buried more Russians in the last 8 months than the whole of any other proxy conflict combined. Consider it our gift to the rest of the free world. Your welcome😅😅😅
"BTW"... There is absolutely ZERO "high octane" fuel in an Apache.. It uses JP-8.. Which is very much like kerosene or diesel.. Also, where TFk did you come up with the Apache flying on just one engine with the other as sitting idle as a backup??? I apreciate the factory tour but you really don't know what youre talking about.. Literally!
"Produces 40 Apache helicopters each year" yet there are "thousands of them around the world". How many hundreds of years has the plant been producing them?
6:31 WHAT??? There is no ejection or parachuting from the typical AH-64 Apache or any other US Army combat helicopter (save FVL). Window jettison would be for ground egress only. If this aircraft impacts the ground, it will do so with the crew.
You are correct is your assessment. I have seen the results of several Apache crashes having worked at the US Army's flight training school for 2 decades. Only a few deaths. A lot of back injuries though.
Aren't you giving out way to much technical information? Isn't it possible that someone out there may be making a copy of your outstanding and impressive technical information?
I like the Longbow name. I'd have thought that the Hellfire missiles, with 40 lb shaped charge warheads, would penetrate a bit more than two inches of armor.
Why do our enemies need Spies when they can watch RUclips videos of US factories building military equipment! AND learn where their located and staging areas of the process! WTFrig!!!!!!!
Yet you have yet to see 1 ka-52 helicopter to use the ejection system in Ukraine. Plenty have been shot down yet none have yet to use the ejection system. I would like to see how it releases the main rotor system then eject them.
I assume the Longbow is made at other sites in addition to the one mentioned here? Otherwise, the numbers don't add up. It mentioned there are thousands of Longbows worldwide. Yet this plant only makes 40 longbows a year. What's the scoop? Also, I'm surprised some steps (such as applying the highly toxic bonding agents to the ballistic protection for the fuel tanks) aren't automated. This video show a person applying the compound and he's not even wearing a mask lt alone a breathing apparatus - clearly a photo-op presentation, not the real deal.
