The basic question is, will an aerial vehicle due to advanced technology, replace the tank in the 1970's. In developing this theme a historical event, the General Mitchell case, was used as a catalyst to stimulate the reader's ability to think about this idea, rather than arbitrarily dismiss it. The challenge to the tank's status quo is discussed in view of its increasing cost, versus its effectiveness and vulnerability. As a challenge to the tank as an offensive weapon, new types of attack helicopters' characteristics are described. A discussion of attack helicopters in combat (Laos 1971), is covered in detail. A comparison of the Cheyenne attack helicopter with the M551 Sheridan tank accentuates certain advantages that the helicopter now possesses. The conclusion suggests that the attack helicopter in view of its increasing utility, may with its rapidly growing technology, replace the tank as offensive weapons system in the next decade.
