The RAH-66 Comanche was a prototype helicopter manufactured in tandem by Sikorsky and Boeing Helicopters. Touted by the US military as the first step towards an all-stealth airborne fleet, the Comanche was intended to replace the AH-1 Cobra and OH-58 Kiowa, as well as supplement the AH-64 Apache. The RAH-66 project was cancelled in 2004 after nearly two decades of development.
History[]
During the Skully Islands insurrection, the RAH-66 was utilized by anti-government forces. Four of these helicopters were deployed during the liberation of Donet City.[1] They were last seen during the defense of the rebel HQ.[2]
The helicopter later saw use by the Usean Rebel Forces in Ace Combat 2's depiction of the Usean coup d'état, serving as a defense unit for the elementary particle lab.[3] It did not appear in the remake, Ace Combat: Assault Horizon Legacy.
