	Attack helicopter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An attack helicopter is a military helicopter armed for attacking targets on the ground such as enemy infantry, armored vehicles and structures, using autocannon and machine-gun fire, rockets, and precision guided missiles such as the Hellfire.
		The Sikorsky H-34 was also modified into a gunship by the French Navy: standard armament comprised a MG 151 20-mm cannon firing from the cabin door, two 12.7-mm machine guns firing from the cabin windows to port, plus racks for 37 mm or 68 mm rockets.
		During the 1950s, with the increasing use of the helicopter for infantry transport, the U.S. saw a need for helicopters to be used as aerial artillery to provide fire suppression and ground support close to the battle.

	Helicopter Gunships History
		Helicopters were first used extensively during the Korea War but typically in medevac missions and cargo delivery roles.
		The marines also found, with the helicopter, that vertical deployment avoided the most dangerous part of a landing assault (by surface landing craft), as the French and British forces demonstrated with helicopters during the Suez campaign (in spite of their landing on beaches full of vacationers).
		This helicopter was a derivative of the succesful Bell 47.

	AH-56A Cheyenne
		The experience of Vietnam showed that the existing attack helicopter, the AH-1 Cobra, was vulnerable even to light antiaircraft fire and lacked the agility to fly close to the ground for long periods of time.
		The new attack helicopter program announced in August 1972 drew from the combat experience of the Cobra and the developmental experience of the Cheyenne to specify an aircraft that could absorb battle damage and had the power for rapid movement and heavy loads.
		The helicopter would have to be able to fly nap of the earth and maneuver with great agility to succeed in a new antitank mission on a high-intensity battlefield.

	Gunship - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The term "gunship" is used in several contexts, all sharing the general idea of a light vessel armed with heavy guns.
		More recently, a "gunship" has been used to refer to helicopters to which machine-guns and similar weapons systems have been mounted, or a fixed-wing aircraft with heavy guns on board.
		Most sci-fi "gunships" appear to follow the general principles of the helicopter gunship such as the Republic LAAT/i Gunship in Star Wars.

	CRASH 47 - Gunship
		Flying a military helicopter is a tough job at the best of times - and when you're in the thick of combat and they're using you for target practice, quick thinking and perfect control are your best weapons.
		The helicopter is flown using two basic controls: the 'cyclic joystick', which controls the pitch and roll (direction of the copter), and the 'collective', which alters the angle of the rotor blades (and therefore the altitude).
		Gunship has loads of playability; the manual makes good reading for a couple of hours, and the in-game presentation is excellent.

	MAKS 2005 helicopters
		This Mi-24 "Hind" helicopter gunship manufactured by the Mil design bureau is the most famous Russian helicopter, thanks to its appearance on TV screens around the world during the war in Afghanistan.
		The Mi-8 itself was a huge leap forward from previous Russian helicopters, first flying in 1961 as a single turbine-engined development of the piston-engined Mi-4 "Hound", with which it shared the same boom, transmission and rotor blades.
		When this fl Kamov gunship appeared in the distance, I assumed that it was the same model of fl Ka-52 alligator that was parked in the static display, but disappointingly that wasn't the case, instead it was a Ka-50 fl shark.

	Mi-24 HIND (MIL)
		The Mi-24, the first helicopter to enter service with the Russian Air Force as an assault transport and gunship, was developed on the basis of the Mi-8's propulsion system.
		The helicopter was used extensively in the Afghanistan War, becoming the "signature" weapon of the conflict.
		The helicopter has a wing with a span of 6.536 m, which can relieve the tail rotor by up to 30 per cent in higher speeds.

	CATH: Gunship (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		A very good unit for its cost, deployed at the right time and in the right situation, the powerful helicopter Gunship could prove to be a battle-winning unit.
		The Interceptor is a high-altitude combat aircraft (meaning simply that the Gunship cannot attack it), with the ability to swoop down out of the clouds and destroy any Gunship it might chance to encounter, then swiftly return to its relatively safe cruising altitude before any other enemy unit can react.
		Ergo: no Gunship squadron should be deployed without sufficient high-altitude air cover of its own, but with air superiority firmly established, the Gunship can be a deadly and feared weapon of war.

	Helicopter Gunships \| Apache \| Cobra \| Eurocopter \| Hind
		Helicopter gunships have been around since the early 60s and started to prove themselves in the Vietnam War in the form of both armed troop transports and as dedicated weapons platforms.
		Other gunship configurations that were considered included modified CH-47 Chinooks (ACH-47s) armed with multiple guns, cannons, rockets and grenade launchers although these proved to be too cumbersome for use in the field.
		Both of these gunships would be used in many a battle in various third world conflicts, mostly in the infantry support role.

		The loss of the third gunship would toll the death knell to the Guns A Go-Go evaluation and the 1 April 1968 demise of the 1st Aviation Detachment of the 228th Assault Helicopter Battalion.
		To enhance the survivability of the helicopter, a combat interphone system, fuel fire suppression, [engine] crossfeed [fuel] shutoff valves and ballistic armor plate capable of withstanding the impact of 50 caliber ammunition were installed.

	Amiga Reviews: Gunship 2000
		Helicopters are not the toughest or the fastest machines around, and having.50 calibre triple-A whizzing through your rotors won’t do them any good at all.
		In the geopolitical world of Gunship 2000, the (former) Soviet Union constitutes the probable source of opposition for Central European missions, showing perhaps that Cold War or no Cold War the ex-Soviets are doomed to be the bad guys in strategy games for years to come.
		Gunship 2000 is, in short, a thorough game which will test your tactical combat skills as well as your flying ability.

	The Apache helicopter in Desert Combat is too hard to fly
		But, since this was a simulation of radio controlled model helicopters, I had to admit the possibility that this also might not be applicable to the Desert Combat helicopter.
		This was a compound helicopter with wings and a propeller in addition to the main and tail rotors, and it was faster than any conventional helicopter since it didn't need the main rotor for lift or propulsion at high speeds.
		Unless the helicopter is hovering over friendly troops, it becomes an easy target for small arms fire when hovering.
