The RAH-66 Comanche was an armed reconnaissance and attack helicopter jointly developed by Boeing and Sikorsky for the U.S. Army. It was originally intended to replace the OH-58 Kiowa and supplement or partially replace the AH-64 Apache.Key features include: • Stealth design: The Comanche utilized a low radar cross-section (RCS) shape and composite materials, with most weapons stored internally to reduce radar visibility. • High maneuverability: It featured an advanced five-blade main rotor and a stealthy fenestron tail rotor, offering excellent agility and low acoustic signature. • Advanced avionics: Equipped with integrated electronic warfare systems, sensors, and data links, the Comanche was designed for high levels of situational awareness and networked operations. • Armament: It carried weapons in internal bays, such as anti-tank missiles and rockets, and was fitted with a 20mm cannon under the fuselage.Although the project began in the 1980s, it was canceled by the U.S. Army in 2004 due to post–Cold War budget constraints and evolving combat needs. Despite never reaching mass production, the Comanche’s design significantly influenced future helicopter developmen. ♞ Equipped with Direct Attack Guided Rockets (Lockheed Martin DAGR), AGM-114 Hellfire anti-tank missiles, FIM-92 Stinger surface-to-air missiles, and an automatically aiming cannon. Here’s the English translation of your text:While reviewing materials from Sikorsky, NASA, and the U.S. Army, I discovered that the Comanche helicopter used high-strength composite materials throughout its structure, and was equipped with composite armor in all key areas. As a result, Sikorsky stated in an official report that “this thing’s impact resistance will be fifty times greater than that of any aircraft we currently have.” Therefore, I enhanced its impact resistance and also fixed the bug where pressing “1” would jettison all DAGRs.
