===AH-64F=== In 2014, Boeing conceptualized an Apache upgrade prior to the introduction of the U.S. Army's anticipated attack version of the [[Future Vertical Lift]] (FVL) aircraft, forecast to replace the Apache by 2040. The conceptual ''AH-64F'' would have greater speed via a new 3,000 shp turboshaft engine from the [[Improved Turbine Engine Program]], retractable landing gear, stub wings to offload lift from the main rotor during cruise, and a tail rotor that can articulate 90 degrees to provide forward thrust.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/boeing-proposes-high-speed-apache-heavier-chinook-400777/ |title=Boeing proposes high-speed Apache, heavier Chinook |first=Stephen |last=Trimble |date=26 June 2014 |website=FlightGlobal |access-date=9 February 2019}}</ref> In October 2016, the Army revealed they would not pursue another Apache upgrade to focus on funding FVL; the Army will continue buying the Apache through the 2020s until Boeing's production line ends in 2026, then FVL is slated to come online in 2030.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/army-will-not-pursue-ah-64f-model-apache-430045/ |title=Army will not pursue AH-64F model Apache |first=Leigh |last=Giangreco |date=4 October 2016 |website=FlightGlobal |access-date=9 February 2019}}</ref>
