Which replacement pairing is correct for the H-1 program?

Which replacement pairing is correct for the H-1 program?

• A. AH-1Z replaces AH-1W, UH-1Y replaces UH-1N
• B. AH-1W replaces AH-1Z, UH-1N replaces UH-1Y
• C. AH-1Z replaces UH-1N, UH-1W replaces AH-1Y
• D. AH-1Y replaces UH-1N, AH-1W replaces AH-1Z

Answer: (A)

The H-1 program assigns the newer variants as successors to the older ones in a direct lineage: the AH-1Z Viper is the successor to the AH-1W Super Cobra, and the UH-1Y Venom is the successor to the UH-1N Huey. The AH-1Z brings upgrades like a four-blade rotor, more power, and advanced sensors and weapons, while the UH-1Y features a more powerful engine, upgraded rotor/airframe, and modern digital cockpit. Because each newer model is designed to replace its respective older counterpart, the correct pairing is AH-1Z replacing AH-1W and UH-1Y replacing UH-1N.
