The Bell ARH-70 Arapaho is a four-bladed single-engine light military helicopter designed for the United States Army’s Armed Reconnaissance Helicopter (ARH) program. With a crew of two and optimized for urban combat the ARH-70 was slated to replace the Army’s aging OH-58D Kiowa Warrior. Excessive delays and growth in program costs forced its cancellation on 16 October 2008 when the Department of Defense failed to certify the program to Congress.
