First, I was not born in the U.S.A. the English is not my native language,
Second, when people as you find a job, is because people as me created the
concepts and the technologies.

I guess this is supposed to impress me. I spent the first 4 years of my
career developing new technologies in rotorcraft and the next 22 years
applying the latest technology to evolving designs, but Goku obviously knows
more than those inside the business, and GOKU RULES (Sarcasm on).


With respect to the antitorque systems, if you review the recent history
previous to the Ah-64, you'll found indications of which I say,
nevertheless it
is necessary to mix the old things with the new things, just follow the
purpose
of the modifications proposed for the Apache, don't wait for some amazing
technology.

If it's just a new mix of old technology, why is it classified, as you said
in a previous post? Methinks thou art full of ****. If you're talking
NOTAR or Fan-In-fin, I know both of them very well. See my previous posts
on trying to kill NOTAR - I was there at the beginning.


I was never involved with the Comanche's battle systems. But in some
concepts as
The FlyByWire and others cancelled (Do you remember that the LHX was
planned as
a single) for that reason I knew only public information on those systems.

Yes, I have a picture above my desk of the SCAT (Scout/Attack) single pilot
configuration of the LHX. On the one hand, you claim knowledge of next
generation systems, on the other hand, you state only knowledge of public
information. The **** is getting deeper.


What happened with the Comanche was caused by the bureaucracy and the
greed -on
both sides-, the UAV/UCAV was foreseen as complement.

You're right that the UAV has been seen as a complementary system. The
plans for production Comanche were to have Level IV UAV control. Your
knowledge of what caused the termination of Comanche remains suspect,
especially since you claim only public knowledge. I can tell you from the
inside that the publicly released reasons for termination are, shall we say,
careful constructs.


Don't worry, the Uncle Sam has much work for you...

Things have been looking up. It looks like I'll be staying in Army
Aviation, perhaps on the next generation Apache.


No matter the destiny of the Comanche, the work of the engineers was
supreme...

Amen


If someday you visits Nevada, perhaps you'll see me, but you will never
know who
I am.

Yes, I know it works that way in Area 51. You'll be the third cloud from
the left.


My work is a secret, but aside from its the helicopters are my passion. -
do not
track the IP of this message, I use an IP relay installed in the PC of some
idiot in the South America -.

There's never a shortage of people whose interests far exceed their
knowledge, and whose mouths far exceed both.

| I'm sorry, but when it comes to Comanche you don't know what the hell
you're
| talking about. Given that you can't even spell Comanche properly, I
| shouldn't be surprised.
|
| The Comanche radar is not "taken from the LONGBOW" as Ron says. Nor does
it
| have "many common parts with the AH-64 longbow" There are zero common
| parts. Comanche radar is a total rehosting and regeneration of the basic
| longbow system on a completely digital platform. The only thing in
common
| is the idea of a mast-mounted targeting radar. Neither our antenna nor
our
| radar controls are common with Longbow. As a matter of fact, one of the
HTI
| efforts from Comanche leftovers is to take our digital Radar Electronics
| Unit (REU) and our low Radar Cross Section radar antenna (both of which
are
| much lighter than the longbow system) and put them in the next generation
| AH-64.
|
| Full Fly-by-wire is planned for the AH-64, again based on Comanche
| technology. The idea is to have a common FBW software set for the AH-64
and
| UH-60, with an overlay for the specific aircraft.
|
| As for the antitorque system, I'd dearly love to hear about this
mysterious
| new technology - I'm an aerodynamicist by trade, and I'm not aware of any
| new antitorque technologies within the last 40 years or so.
