Foka Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Wags just put on the YT an Apache Introduction video. We can see the Apache standing on the ground, but its rotor blades are inflexible and parallel to the ground. They should be hanging a bit towards ground. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlphaOneSix Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 That's an E model with different rotor blades. Post a picture of a D model with the same blades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foka Posted October 23, 2021 Author Share Posted October 23, 2021 I'm not familiar with detailed difference between D and E, can only post what's D according to Google. But I have never in my life saw a helicopter (I'm not saying I saw everything, tho) with blades so rigid, that they would stay horizontal on the ground. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're good, I was being silly...but I did get you to post D model pics! So win-win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaemonPhobos Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 (edited) An easy way to recognize US deltas from echos is that Es have the VU2 VHF/FM antenna behind the rotor mast, the VOR/ILS receiver at the tailboom, different IHADSS helmets based in the HGU-56P that have two Improved magnetic receiver units at the back of the heads instead of the IR detectors. Post V4 Echo aircraft also have have the link16 antennas above the wingtips. The Echos use the Composite main rotor blades which are larger than the legacy ones, something difficult to see in-flight pictures, additionally, they have a flat underbelly. Also, only the deltas have the HF antenna (towel bar) over the length of the tailboom. Edited October 24, 2021 by DaemonPhobos 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hummingbird Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Pretty sure it will have flexible rotorblades once released, the Mi-24 has it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShalashakaDS Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 The f-18 and f-16 got their wing flex way after initial release, seems the same will happen to the apache, nothing to worry yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And in some older vids too...so no worries Regards Edited October 25, 2021 by Apache 64 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalcoGer Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 I, too, would like to have rotor blades while on the ground. And in the air. Actually in the air especially. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
