Boeing pilots flew the aircraft for less than 20-minutes at low speeds in forward, rearward and sideward flight at low elevations. The AH-6i is a single-turbine helicopter that is based on the combat-proven OH-6A Cayuse. It is an advanced variant of the AH-6M helicopter operated by the U.S. Army Special Operations Forces. It incorporates advanced technologies from the Boeing AH-64E Apache multirole attack helicopter that give it superior performance over other aircraft in its class. The helicopter is intended to provide close-air support for land-based forces and serve as an attack platform for destroying tanks, armored vehicles and fortifications.BI42631 (mcf14-0043-242)Maximum size:3600px × 5409px (~55 MB)12.0in × 18.0in (300dpi)License type:Rights ManagedKeywords:2010s-adults-AH-6 helicopters-attack-blue skies-Boeing livery-currently in production-day-first flights-flying-full body views-fuselages-head on views-helicopters-high-tech / advanced-Mesa Facility-motion blur-nose sections-outdoors-pilots-production milestones-rotorcraft-rotorcraft blades-testing-windowsRelated Photo/Videos:View AllRelated Virtual folders:AH-6i
