The Boeing AH-64A Apache is a terrain-hugging helicopter that uses trees and hills to screen itself from the enemy before popping up to launch an array of firepower to destroy tanks and shred troop concentrations.

The Apaches were especially effective in the Persian Gulf War, however, knocking out 500 Iraqi tanks.

The prime contractor for the mission, Lockheed Martin, measured the thruster firings in pounds, although NASA requested metric measurements.
