Cancellation Will Cost Army At Least $10 Billion
The Comanche helicopter has caused many to awe at its reported
stealth characteristics, advanced flight controls, and superb
firing platform. Well, forget all that because the entire program
has been axed by Uncle Sam. The Army has decided to cancel its
Comanche helicopter program, a multibillion-dollar project to build
a new-generation chopper for armed reconnaissance missions,
officials said Monday. The contractors for Comanche are Boeing Co.
and Sikorsky Aircraft Corp.
