Thats the AH-1Z King Cobra ^ 4 rotors instead of 2, 2 extra pylon stations raising the hellfire load from 8 to 16, improved engines that are 25% more powerful i believe then the engines in the Super Cobra.
That is the RAH-66 Comanche ^ The Comanche program was scrapped by the U.S. Army in the 2004 in favor of using the money appropriated for the project to upgrade from the out of date AH-1 Vietnam Era Cobras that were being fielded by Army Reserve and National Guard units to the Apache. The Comanche would have been the first ever Stealth Helicopter. It would have been used in an Armed Reconnaissance role similar to the OH-58 Kiowa Warrior. It had one of the most advanced radars ever to be fielded by a helicopter. In the Armed Reconnaissance role all the weapons could be stored inside retractable weapons bays on the side. In the Attack mode it would field 14 Hellfires, 28 stingers, or 56 Hydra Rockets with attached pylons to the helicopter. Armed Reconnaissance mode could hold 4 hellfires and 2 stinger missiles.It also contained a 20 mm cannon similar in the nose similar to the Apache.
