Kiowa Apache Cobra

Why are Army Aircraft Named After Indian Tribes?

The Cobra is the exception.
UH-1 Iroquois
UH-60 Blackhawk
CH-47 Chinook
OH-58 Kiowa
OV-1 Mohawk
AH-64 Apache
AH-66 Commanche
OH-6 Cayuse
CH-54 Tarhe
OV-1 Mohawk

First of all the Cobra is not the exception to the rule; The AH-1 'Huey Cobra' was developed from the UH-1 Iroquois making it an Iroquois variant.

The OV-1 Mohawk is the exception of the rule as it is a fixed wing aircraft while all the others are rotary wing aircraft.

Your list is missing the UH-19 Chickasaw, UH-34 Choctaw, OH-13 Sioux, OH-23 Raven and the CH-21 Shawnee.

The Key West Agreement of 1947 which splits the U.S. Army and U.S. Air Force into two separate organizations established the rule for naming Air Force fixed wing aircraft and Army rotary wing aircraft.

Kiowa Language $70.1 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Kiowa is a KiowaTanoan language spoken by the Kiowa Tribe in western Oklahoma in primarily Caddo, Kiowa, and Comanche counties. The Kiowa tribal center is located in Carnegie. Like most North American languages, Kiowa is an endangered language. Laurel Watkins noted in 1984 based on Parker McKenzies estimates that only about 400 people could speak Kiowa and that only rarely were children learning language.
