TABLE OF CONTENTS 20 GROWING VERTICALLY Apache and Chinook helicopters are being produced for U.S. and international customers by Boeing employees more efficiently than ever before; the V-22 tilt-rotor Osprey is performing missions no other aircraft can do. And now Boeing has added the AH-6i Little Bird attack and reconnaissance helicopter to its rotary wing lineup. The company’s Vertical Lift business has the right products at the right time, program leaders say. But expanding the business internationally is key to future success. COVER: An AH-64E Apache demonstrates its low-level, or “nap of the earth,” flight capabilities over the Arizona desert near Mesa, where it is built.
