[edit] History

Why is the history of military helicopters not mentioned? --82.41.42.96 07:55, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Good question. --Born2flie 21:32, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

How best should the history be done, as a history of each of the types of helicopter integrated with a description of its role and operational use or as a seperate history section? KTo288 22:13, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

Either way could work if handled properly, I think. Given what's in the article now, adding a separate History section would be easiest. -Fnlayson 19:47, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

LOL, I came here ask about history too. Please can someone put in the history and evolution of military helicopters. I don't really know much about the subject (hence why I came here in the first place), but perhaps the section could start by talking about the Luftwaffe first, then how the American's mass produced them and how everyone followed suite. Then the evolution of the attack chopper. (Just a thought, don't jump down my throat anybody) Ryan4314 (talk) 00:58, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you

Thank you to the editors who've taken the time to assess this article. KTo288 19:40, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] AH-64 Apache

The caption about the survivability is somewhat misleading and somewhat wrong. The survivability of the Apache is complex, and divided into two areas of low susceptibility and low vulnerability. I will try to work on this aspect of the information in an understandable format.--THE FOUNDERS INTENT ^TALK 19:08, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

Any corrections will be welcome, I might have been rather taken in by claims made less than accurate sources, however there is only so much you can put into a caption, maybe better to put in the article, might need to create a 'Design of military helicopters' section which could be used to include the existing systems subsection.

Sure collaboration would be good.--THE FOUNDERS INTENT ^TALK 01:55, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

So one is being able to take hits, like 23 mm shells? And the other avoiding anti-aircraft fire/missiles? Thanks. -Fnlayson 05:43, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
Yes, the latter and the former, respectively. I'd be glad to discuss this elsewhere if you like.--THE FOUNDERS INTENT ^TALK 13:24, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Title

I believe that the proper title for this article would be Military helicopter without the plural. However, if military aircraft articles have different naming standards, I am mistaken. --UberScienceNerd _{Talk Contributions} 23:30, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
