Blue Thunder and AirWolf Were both based on a real aircraft if my memory
serves built by Lockheed in the 60's or 70's it was a 2 seater short winged
battle chopper.
The AH-56 Cheyenne it was a compound helicopter designed for the U.S. Army
55ft long 27ft across the wings with a 50ft diameter main rotor and to cap
it of it had 2 tail rotors.
One conventional anti-torque rotor and one pusher propeller.
The engine was a 3,435 shp General Electric T64-GE-16turboshaft.
if it had been perfected it would have been able to take on planes i.e. it's
top speed was supposed to have been 253 miles per hour.
