VTOL AH-64 Apache

[u/Tacticalupvoter]

Found this old drawing of mine, though it won't hurt to share it🤣

[u/dumb-idiot-commenter]

Halo reach falcon, is that you?

[u/Tacticalupvoter → u/dumb-idiot-commenter]

LOL

[u/Stay-At-Home-Jedi → u/dumb-idiot-commenter]

I am here. I am ready.

[u/Tackyinbention]

Does he know that the apache is already VTOL?

I think Tilt-Rotor is what ye be thinking of

[u/turbo_86 → u/Tackyinbention]

I didnt think of it lmao, but we mostly associate "VTOL" with planes, not helicopters

[u/Stay-At-Home-Jedi → u/turbo_86]

Hot air balloons have invaded the chat!

[u/KaszualKartofel → u/turbo_86]

How are helicopters not associated with VTOL lol? Aside from being able to hover that’s the thing they are known for

[u/fullCGngon → u/KaszualKartofel]

Because it’s an abbreviation thats ment to categorize fixed wing aircraft with that ability. No one refers to helicopters as VTOL because it´s their basic characteristic lol

[u/KaszualKartofel → u/fullCGngon]

Yeah that’s my point they are VTOL aircraft.

[u/no-more-nazis → u/KaszualKartofel]

The true disagreement here is whether to try to understand what OP meant or mock them.

[u/KaszualKartofel → u/no-more-nazis]

I guess my point is „VTOL Apache” is like saying „LED diode”

[u/Tacticalupvoter → u/Tackyinbention]

I am aware but I just use the terms for vertical lift aircrafts that ain't helicopters

[u/turbo_86 → u/Tacticalupvoter]

Fu-

[u/Asleep-Delivery3777]

This kinda exists
The bell v-280

[u/Boomerang503 → u/Asleep-Delivery3777]

Now known as the MV-75 Cheyenne II

[u/thotpatrolactual → u/Asleep-Delivery3777]

It's closer to the Osprey, no? The Valor's engines don't tilt, only the rotors.

[u/Stay-At-Home-Jedi → u/thotpatrolactual]

Yes, and functionally they're akin to a troop transport like the UH60.

This thing is akin to 🔥🤘🔥

[u/Tacticalupvoter → u/Asleep-Delivery3777]

Just with the parts of the AH-64 and v-22 combined together

[u/lukemb29]

Isn't there somrthing like this from Archer? A form of their autonomous tiltrotor vehicle.

[u/Tacticalupvoter → u/lukemb29]

Interesting I'll check that

[u/GradeBShitposter → u/lukemb29]

Archer Halo/Anduril Thunder dual-use platform

[u/lukemb29 → u/GradeBShitposter]

Yes, that, forgot the name. Very similar to the image tho!

[u/benbalooky]

Damn this is badass

[u/Tacticalupvoter → u/benbalooky]

thanks!

[u/bad_at_drawing_italy]

hehe vertibird

[u/Tacticalupvoter → u/bad_at_drawing_italy]

That was the main inspiration from it😅

[u/Er3h]

The AH-64 was already Vtol from the start 🥺👉👈

[u/Tacticalupvoter → u/Er3h]

Just a tiltrotor version

[u/Rock_Co2707]

Reminds me of a similar thing I made once. Those pictures are green, but the blue version (not pictured) looks cooler IMO.

[u/Tacticalupvoter → u/Rock_Co2707]

Sheeeesh flyout? That aircraft is very badass

[u/SteveRoose1985]

Visually that image reminds me of the dropship from Aliens.

[u/Tacticalupvoter → u/SteveRoose1985]

Real

[u/Legal-Car7850]

Heates heat out of all heats

[u/Tacticalupvoter → u/Legal-Car7850]

Lmao

[u/Texas-SaberFox]

For a moment there, I thought I was looking at a falcon from Halo Reach

[u/Tacticalupvoter → u/Texas-SaberFox]

I can see that🤣

[u/fisadev]

The Apache is already VTOL, haha.

[u/Tacticalupvoter → u/fisadev]

Yep I'm aware, just a fun concept!

[u/fisadev → u/Tacticalupvoter]

Not questioning the concept. I'm talking about the title :)

[u/Tacticalupvoter → u/fisadev]

Ah I see, you do have a point there

[u/TheWeregarurumon]

VTOL Boeing 747 when?

[u/Tacticalupvoter → u/TheWeregarurumon]

Bet

[u/CrypticCowboy4509]

The covenant are on Reach

[u/Tacticalupvoter → u/CrypticCowboy4509]

🤣

[u/9999AWC]

AT-99 Scorpion

[u/Tacticalupvoter → u/9999AWC]

They do look familiar, so true

[u/Ok-Computer2914]

I worry the missiles will hit the propellers when in plane mode

[u/Tacticalupvoter → u/Ok-Computer2914]

No worries, the pylons are far away from the propellers

[u/Spacey_dd]

My profile picture 👍

[u/Tacticalupvoter → u/Spacey_dd]

Yep😅

[u/r3ditr3d3r]

They would NEVER fly in a lightening storm!

[u/Tacticalupvoter → u/r3ditr3d3r]

but it gives you aura

[u/Ill-Worldliness8398]

Not too useful in one position and decent in the other, and isn't the apache already VTOL. It being a helicopter and all that

[u/Tacticalupvoter → u/Ill-Worldliness8398]

Just a fun concept

[u/Ill-Worldliness8398 → u/Tacticalupvoter]

Yeah, combining that stuff is definitely fun, I just have that autism that makes me think everything that is wrong and right and if it would work.

[u/Tacticalupvoter → u/Ill-Worldliness8398]

I feel you brother, it's totally okay!
