The '''Boeing AH-64 Apache''' is a twin-engine, four-blade, attack helicopter that is one of the fastest and stealthiest military helicopters in the world. Apache helicopters weigh 8 tons, but they can go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 4.6 seconds which is faster than a [[Porsche]] Boxster sports car. This is accomplished by means of their 1,800 horsepower turboshaft engines made by [[General Electric]].
Apaches are typically equipped with 30 millimeter cannon, AGM-114 Hellfire missiles and Hydra 70 rocket pods. The Apache also has a significant amount of armor and system redundancy which helps it sustain heavy attacks. In addition, a shield separates the two pilots so that at least one operator is likely to survive an engagement.[http://strikefighterconsultinginc.com/blog/the-ah-64-apache-the-worlds-best-helicopter]
