-The south african rooivalk is obviously not much original and a bastard of several different attack helicopters. So which of these have inspired roovalk more: Apache, cobra , eurocopter , mil-24?The Denel AH-2 Rooivalk looks more like a cross between the Eurocopter Tiger and Italian Augusta Magusta. The South Africans most likely either got help from Italy or stold the designs from the above listed helicopters and built what is a cross between the 2 and another little know helicopter only one made in the United States but long since cancelled after the only one built crashed and was called, the Sikorsky-67 http://www.helis.com/70s/h_s67.php http://www.aviastar.org/helicopters_eng/鈥?/a> It doesn't have any likings to the Mi-24 Hind and very little if any to the AH-64 Apache or Cobra. Below are some websites that will interest you.

Not sure about it's looks but the ROOIVALK was developed from an A茅rospatiale Alouette III airframe, retaining that helicopter's engine and dynamic components.
At least, that is what Wikipedia claims.
The Mangusta!
looks like a cross between a commanche and a eurocopter
