Loach Driver Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Here is a photo that popped up on FB. Another new shot of an AH-6G with the IR Exhaust fitted. LD. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That's the first picture I've seen that really shows the profile of that device. Hate to say it but it looks like Werner's Wings got it wrong. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Loach Driver Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 It has been a difficult item to truly get right given the lack of decent references. It looks small and skinny in that picture while in others it has a “fuller” look to it. LD. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Would this be fitted in conjunction with that large air intake mounted on the upper left of the aft fuselage? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Loach Driver Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 That is my understanding. I'd guess that the big air intake supplies cooling air to the engine bay but also into the exhaust system, mixing cool air with the hot exhaust to bring the overall exhaust temperature down. Only a guess, as I say. LD. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This would be another version Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Loach Driver Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Thanks for the update, Floyd. I didn't know there were a couple of different versions in use in that time frame. Do you know who manufactured this exhaust? Was it done with assistance from McDonnell Douglas Helicopters or was it an in-house project developed, fabricated and tested by the 160th engineering personnel themselves? Thanks. LD.

11bee Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Great picture Floyd, thanks for sharing it! Would love to know how you came across that shot. Definitely looks like they fielded a different version (note that this device is labeled as model 1B) but doesn't look like it would be too difficult to mod your part to replicate the one in the OGS pic above.

G-4 classified. Can't reveal the source, but it is a declassified photo. Floyd Quote Link to post Share on other sites
