Description

The Boeing CH-47 Chinook heavy lift helicopter entered service with the US Army in 1962, and updated versions are still in service around the world today.

The Chinook is powered by two external turboshaft engines either of which can power the twin lift rotors in the event of engine damage.  Contra-rotating blades eliminate the need for the usual tail rotor seen on most helicopters.

The Chinook has a crew of 1-3 and carries 30 - 55 troops or 24,000 lb (10,880 Kg) of cargo.  3 x 7.62mm machine guns may also be fitted.

This example is a CH-47C of the Greek Air Force 1985.
