I know these guys are professionals and do this for a living, but man it seems like you'd want to stand off to the side a few degrees or something when wiring in those rockets. I'm sure there are hundreds of safeguards making it "impossible" but every once in a blue moon a video surfaces that makes you go "Holy ****! How did that happeN?!" and I'd hate for it to be something like THAT. Great video!!! Love the Apache!

[@ComdrStew]

They can not become armed until the signal is sent to arm them. There is no power on when they load them, so there is no way for it to arm. I'm with you though, to me it's like looking down a loaded gun, lol.

[@Solo6R]

@@ComdrStew Fair enough, and yeah the "looking down a loaded gun" phrase is exactly what came to mind when watching this, hah.

[@wayneyd2]

Is this new? AH-1 has been doing this back in the 70/80's.

[@mrsimo7144]

I don't know much about the Apache. Does it have a hold setting? So it can stay still? Thanks.

[@Beta250trials]

yup it does SAS Alt hold and ATT hold

[@robkelman4704]

Cool video but its odd to talk about cargo planes etc after the Apache part..

[@emmanueljohnson7334]

[@mrwoody1413]

They do have a “quiet helicopter”.. they used it in the Osama Bin Laden raid.. My dad drives portable office trailers to Dug-way Proving Grounds here in Utah every once in a while and he told me that one time when he was up there he saw one flying and you couldn’t hear it until its basically right over your head.

IHADSS targeting is the name of the helmet targeting system if not stated in the video.

[@wayneyd2]

[@jamestjomsland948]

[@steveaustin4600]

the ejection seats in these things are a bit hit and miss

[@Henri182]

If im not wrong, the only helicopter that have ejection seats, are the russian Ka-52 i guess.

[@johnrussell3755]

from now on , i dont like tail rotor helicopters even if they are most advanced...therefore KA 52 all the way

[@jaehyung2737]

it’s great for mobility but ka52 don’t even have proper atgm and IR vision system.

[@takeonedaily]

all the way to the ukranian ground lol. ka52 will shake itself apart without regular maintenance. dual rotors look cool but they are not the best design for helicopters.
