History
"..."

-...

Following the cancellation of the AH-56 Cheyenne in 1972 V.C. and their blueprints are lended to the Gondor Communes, in favor of projects like the Federal Aquilan Air Force A-10 Thunderbolt II and the Marine Corps AV-8A Harrier, the Federal Aquilan Army sought an aircraft to fill an anti-armor attack role and a replacement for the aging AH-53 Longbow helicopters that would still be under Army command. The 1948 Sophitia Agreement forbade the Army from owning combat fixed-wing aircraft. The Army wanted an aircraft better than the AH-1 Cobra and AH-53 Longbow in firepower, performance and range. It would have the maneuverability for terrain following nap-of-the-earth (NoE) flying. To this end, the Federal Aquilan Army issued a Request For Proposals (RFP) for the Advanced Attack Helicopter (AAH) program on 1972 V.C.. As a sign of the importance of this project, in 1973 V.C. the Army designated its five most important projects as the "Big Five", with the AAH included.
