Hughes Apches Vs Westland Apache?
Wondering if there were any major differences in performance of the UK's Apaches compared to the Hughes version, mainly with the change of the General Electric T700s to the Rolls-Royce RTM322's.
I heard these are more powerful, but bearing in mind the Phantom k's had more powerful engines, was interested if they made a big difference (clearly hilicopters are a differnet kettle of fish), as well as the retractable blades on the apche (more weight?) etc.
Does the UK version have greater payload, range, speed etc?
Cheers
