CH-47 Chinook
The CH-47 Chinook is a highly versatile, twin engine, twin rotor heavy-lift helicopter. The contra-rotating rotors eliminate the need for a rear vertical rotor, allowing all power to be used for vertical lift and provide a speed of 173 mph (150 knots, 278 km/h). Its primary missions range from troop movement and artillery emplacement to battlefield resupply. Chinooks have been sold to 16 nations, the largest users of which are the US Army and the Royal Air Force, see RAF Chinook. A commercial model of this aircraft, the Boeing 234 Chinook, is used worldwide for logging, construction, fighting forest fires, and supporting petroleum exploration operations.
