The AH-64A is the original production attack helicopter. The crew sit in tandem in an [[aircraft armor|armored]] compartment. It is powered by two GE T700 turboshaft engines. The A-model was equipped with the −701 engine version until 1990 when the engines were switched to the more powerful −701C version.<ref>Bishop 2005, p. 12.</ref>
