Default A New AH-64 Version

I hear some rumors on an updated AH-64X?

The updates may be the followings: 5 Blade Main Rotor, Diamond Shape on some
surfaces (Specially the tail) a new TADS/PNVS and a new LONGBOW radar (Taken
from the commanche's project), also is possible a Fenestron Pusher tail rotor
and Fly By Wire controls, new more powerful engines and revised transmission,
also are considering a retractable landing gear and a wider / detachable wing to
load more weapons in certain missions.

In summary: lower noise, lower maintenance, more offensive power, better
sensors, more Speed, and more strength and survival to damage.
