Apangidwa ndi Boeing Co., apache anayamba kulowa muutumiki wa asilikali mu 1984. Zamangidwa kuti zikhale zolimbirana ndipo zimatha kupirira maulendo 23 mm.
Apache yakhala mbali yogwira ntchito zonse za nkhondo kuyambira pachiyambi chake, zomwe zikuwathandiza makamaka ku Iraq ndi Afghanistan.
Zida ndi Zida za Apel Helicopter
Apache wa mamita 50 akuthamanga ndi gulu la awiri: woyendetsa ndege ndi woyendetsa galimoto. Iwo amachita mautumiki ovomerezeka a zida. Helikopita ili ndi zida zotsutsana ndi zida za Hellfire, zomwe zimagwiritsidwa ntchito pomaliza ntchito yake yaikulu: kuwononga zolinga zamtengo wapatali.
Zimagwira ntchitoyi ndi Zida Zogulira Zomwe Zidalitsidwa (TADS) zogwirizana ndi kayendedwe ka oyendetsa ndege kuti makamera afotokoze komwe akuwoneka.
Njirayi imaphatikizapo masensa a masomphenya a usiku, wopeza laser laser komanso wolinganiza zolinga za laser, makina opaka mafilimu, ndi makina a kanema wa kanema. Zithunzi zochokera ku TADS zili pamwamba pa zojambula zojambulajambula za ogwira ntchito.
Apache Poyerekeza ndi Black Hawk Helicopter
Apache ndi imodzi mwa mahatchi ankhondo odziŵika bwino a Army, enawo ndi a helikopita ya Black Hawk, omwe amatchulidwa kuti wankhondo wa ku America.
Black Hawk wakhala mbali ya ntchito za Army kuyambira 1974, ndikulowa muutumiki mu 1978.
Pamene Black Hawk imadziwika chifukwa chaulendo wake wamtendere ndikukhalitsa, ikukula mofulumira kuposa Apache. Kumeneko Apache akugwira gulu la asilikali awiri, Black Hawk imanyamula antchito okwana asanu.
Black Hawk imagwiritsidwa ntchito makamaka poyendetsa asilikali ndi zipangizo, pomwe apache amamangidwira kumenyana, makamaka maulendo a nkhondo.
Tsono pamene oyendetsa ndege amakondana wina ndi mzache, chopper ziwirizi zimapangidwira zosiyana.
Mapulogalamu a Helicopters A Apache Akugwira Ntchito
Apaches anawombera mfuti yoyamba yotchedwa Operation Desert Storm, yomwe inamenyana ndi Iraq pambuyo pa kugawidwa kwa Kuwait mu 1990. Maulendo asanu ndi atatu okwera ndege, omwe anakwera ndi oyendetsa ndege kuchokera ku 101 Airborne Division, adayenda mtunda wa makilomita 90 kuchokera ku Saudi Arabia, akuyang'ana radio mpaka masekondi khumi asanakwane zolinga zawo.

Pambuyo-Generation Apache
Anthu opanga ndegeyi anaika chitsanzo cha mbadwo wotsatira, Apache Longbow, mu 1997. Iwo amagwiritsa ntchito rasiyara ya mtundu wa milimeter kuti ayambe kuwongolera mobwerezabwereza ndipo nthawi zisanu ndi ziwiri zowonjezera kuposa zoyambirira.
Chopper chowongolera makompyuta amatha kuzindikira zowonjezereka zokhazokha 128 ndi zopindula zomwe zimakhala zofunikira kwambiri, zomwe zimatumizira ndege zina ku gulu lomenyana. Malingana ndi deta, kuukira kungayambitsidwe mkati mwa masekondi 30 a radar scan.
A Apache ali ndi zida zankhondo 19 za M261.
Apache ndi Apache Longbow amagwiritsira ntchito magetsi akuluakulu a General Electric T700-GE-701 1698 ndipo amakhala ndi mawotchi anayi opangidwa ndi rotor.
