"AH-64 Apache" - zakamuva isizukulwane indiza

Helicopter "Apache AH-64" wadalwa ulwe phansi amatshe. esasisandulele, "AH-1 Cobra", waba phakathi neMpi Vietnam ukuthi US Army idinga umshini ukufeza ukuzingelwa isitha obungaqondakali izimo ezinzima futhi nokusebenza kakhulu emoyeni ukuzivikela. Izimfuneko esiyinhloko ukuhlaselwa ngezindiza ezinophephela emhlane entsha babé izikhali ezinamandla, ukuphila isikhathi eside, kungenzeka indiza ngesivinini emachibini ongaphakeme futhi ngezinga elikhulu ezishintshayo komlilo. Flight izici ihlelwe ngokwehlukana.

Esikhathini mncintiswano zokukwazi isimo inkampani ukwakhiwa izindiza iwine Hughes elandelanayo futhi Bell, ukunikeza amasampula, kangcono nezidingo ezempi. Nokho, Bell ngesula emzuliswaneni wesibili ngenxa yokuthi, ngemicondvo, indiza yakhe kwaba okuhlangenwe ethuthukisiwe "Cobra" nePentagon ezidingekayo umshini omusha ngokuphelele.

Ekupheleni kuka-1976 inkampani Hughes eyalwa ukwakha kuhlasela ndiza i-US Army, futhi waqala umsebenzi umklamo wokugcina yephrojekthi. Bona sezithathe isikhathi eside, iminyaka emihlanu, futhi wehluleka. Umshini omusha kuvunywe pilot yezempi, ngo-1093 waqala ukungena isevisi ngaphansi kwegama "Apache". Endizeni lisuselwe Arizona, kwi esakhiwe ngokukhethekile lokhu amasayithi ukukhiqizwa njongo.

Inkampani Mcdonnell Douglas, ezazidume ngokutshala "Phantom" lakhe kabusha wathenga Hughes kanye oda zayo kanye ukukhiqizwa futhi kusukela ngo-1984 uye ngaphansi brand ayo baqhubeka ukwakha "Apache." Endizeni iye ngaphambilini, ahlomele impi, futhi ngenxa National Guard, USA. Kuyo yonke le minyaka eyishumi ezayo, yayakhiwe amayunithi ezingaphezu kuka ezingamakhulu ayisishiyagalombili ngemali isilinganiso nane eziyisigidi nesigamu ngasinye.

Esikhathini inqubo yentuthuko imisebenzi kuthathwe izinyathelo eziningi ukuvikela "Apache". Helicopter ahlelwe kahle kakhulu, okwenza kube nzima ukubona kanye ukuhlulwa.

Cooling ezimbili nezilandiso igesi ophephela izinjini XT-700 ihlelwe ukuze unciphise ukushisa flight ithrekhi, okuyinto inhlanganisela the qeda air kuma.

Noise ukunciphisa okwenzeka ukusetshenziswa cruciform umsila Rotor ifakwe izindwani ahlelwe at engele ezahlukene, ukuze ukudamba le ekhiqizwa injini amaza omsindo.

Ukubhukha abanikeze asebenza nabo ezibalulekile futhi izingxenye eliyisisekelo kwenza kube incapacitate eziyinkinga kakhulu, ukubhujiswa kakhudlwana futhi labadubuli kusho osezingeni-30 mm. Resource survivability ikuvumela ukuba uthole isizinda yayo nomunye injini inoperative.

Ngenxa yalokho, izikhali eziyinkimbinkimbi sisemoyeni inikeza izinketho ahlukahlukene ukumiswa zangaphandle kanye turret isibhamu.

Avionics ahlukahlukene futhi, okuyinto ifakwe "Apache". Helicopter "ukubona" in the sibonga indawo emnyama engase-imager ezishisayo kanye laser rangefinder, angakwazi ukubeka umsakazo futhi adubule cartridges infrared. Radar ibekwe ngaphezu kwekhanda Rotor, ephelezelwa Okuqondiwe engaphezu kwamakhulu amabili ngesikhathi esisodwa, yazisa nge umsebenzi isitha air izivikelo, kuthola nekwehlukanisa izinto esinqunyiwe.

Ngaphezu US Army opharetha walo mshini baba amabutho emazweni amaningi. Kusukela ngo-1991, cishe kwakungekho zinqobe ezihilela-United States, lapho ngeke ahlanganyele "Apache". Helicopter kahle kakhulu, futhi ezingaqhamuka engibangele yokucwenga futhi ngcono design.
