Pilotasso Posted May 26, 2014 Posted May 26, 2014 I do aircraft engines maintenance and a bit of structures, some of my eccentric friends keep asking me for photographic evidence of piping that "shouldn't be there". I keep telling them the only evidence of chem trails are the ones they rolled and smoked, one of these days Im gonna get kicked out! :D .

topol-m Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 (edited) Ah-1Z cockpit: btw I've always wondered what kind of protection does the cockpit glass of the apache and the cobra provide? Anyone has any info on that? Edited June 6, 2014 by topol-m [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Pilotasso Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 http://youtu.be/USkIDjRhfmI, Did they make it? :( (cant find any news related to it) .
AlphaOneSix Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 btw I've always wondered what kind of protection does the cockpit glass of the apache and the cobra provide? Anyone has any info on that? Yeah. No ballistic protection whatsoever.
joey45 Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 Yeah. No ballistic protection whatsoever. probably the wind...

topol-m Posted June 7, 2014 Posted June 7, 2014 Yeah. No ballistic protection whatsoever. probably the wind... I didn't expect it to be that bad, you put bulletproof glass on a damned car and then you leave the pilots of an attack helicopter with no protection... except from the wind... I found this, which shows the cockpit armor, all in all it looks much more vulnerable than I thought it was: http://apachehelicopter.tpub.com/TM-1-1520-238-10/css/TM-1-1520-238-10_054.htm [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

AlphaOneSix Posted June 7, 2014 Posted June 7, 2014 On the AH-64, there are two glass windshields...the one in front of the front seater, and the one above the front seater. These are made of safety glass and are similar to what you would find on an airliner, for example. Thicker than a car's windshield, but not designed to be ballistically tolerant. All of the other windscreens (the four on the sides and the one above the back seater) are simple acrylic panels like you find on a typical helicopter or light airplane. As mentioned above, it relies on armored panels and an armored seat to protect the aircrew. Not perfect by any means, but a lot lighter than having armored windows. Oh, and here is a video where the back seater gets shot...although it doesn't happen until about 13:00 into the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BArp6RVgZ9k Somewhere earlier in the video (from the other Apache's perspective) you can hear the radio call saying he's been shot.

In that video at 12:55 the apache fires several bursts with its M230, where the hell did all the bullets go?! It was like it fired blank ammo. You see the guy just standing there and firing back with the ak-47. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
AlphaOneSix Posted June 7, 2014 Posted June 7, 2014 In that video at 12:55 the apache fires several bursts with its M230, where the hell did all the bullets go?! The range wasn't set right, or at least I believe that was the problem. I'm actually not sure, but I've seen other videos where the same thing happens and it's a range issue. They might not have missed by much...just enough to be out of the field of view, for all we know.
