Én azt látom, hogy az AH-1Z re olyan adatok vannak megadva hogy pl. üres tömeg 5580kg, és hozzá 2x1340 KW motorteljesítmény párosul.
Az upgrade Tiger HAD verzió 2x1092KW csak az üres tömeg ehhez mindössze 3060kg. Nem lesz az a Super Cobra semmivel sem agilisabb így.
S ami Tigernek még mindig nagy előnye, csak simán elsiklik sok ember felette, az ez a rész:
The protection systems employed on the Tiger includes
stealth; aspects such as the visual, radar, infra red and acoustic signatures have been minimised to better evade threats that may be present upon the battlefield. According to Andrew Warner, the Tiger's survivability "relies on stealth and agility".The use of composite materials on the airframe has resulted in reductions in
radar cross-section (RCS), infra red and acoustic signatures to improve battlefield survivability. The fuselage is
armoured and was developed to withstand small arms fire and 23 mm (0.91 in) cannon rounds. The helicopter has various radar/laser warning and missile approach detection systems, including EADS's AN/AAR-60 MILDS (Missile Launch Detection System), as well as
flares and
chaff dispensers. The Tiger is the first all-composite helicopter developed in Europe. The fuselage of the Tiger is made from 80% carbon fibre reinforced polymer and
kevlar, 11% aluminium, and 6% titanium. The entire tail section is made of composites, including the single section tail boom. The rotors are composed of a fibre plastic composite material able to withstand combat damage and
bird strikes.
Ez egy kisméretű, halk, alacsony infra/hőképpel rendelkező műanyag-kompozit gép. A Cobra meg nem az.
