The Boeing CH-47 Chinook is an American twin-engine, tandem rotor heavy-lift helicopter. Its primary roles are troop movement, artillery placement and battlefield resupply. It has a wide loading ramp at the rear of the fuselage and three external ventral cargo hooks. With a top speed of 170 knots (196 mph, 315 km/h) the helicopter was faster than contemporary 1960s utility helicopters and attack helicopters, and is still one of the fastest helicopters in the US inventory. The CH-47 is among the heaviest lifting Western helicopters. Its name is from the Native American Chinook people.
The Chinook was designed and initially produced by Boeing Vertol in the early 1960s; it is now produced by Boeing Rotorcraft Systems. It is one of the few aircraft of that era – along with the fixed-wing Lockheed C-130 Hercules cargo aircraft – that remain in production and frontline service, with over 1,200 built to date. The helicopter has been sold to 16 nations with the U.S. Army and the Royal Air Force (see Boeing Chinook (UK variants)) being its largest users.

This impressive, large helicopter is longer than a basketball court and strong enough to lift two adult elephants. Despite its massive size, it can fly higher than almost any other helicopter.

The CH-47 Chinook helicopter has been around for nearly 50 years, but 50 years later it is still an amazing aircraft. Here are a few of the things that make it amazing: Twin 60 foot rotors give the helicopter amazing lift -- it can haul up to 28,000 pounds of cargo either inside or attached to exterior hooks. It can carry up to 33 seated passengers, 37 people total with crew. Given it's cargo rating, you could cram on a lot more people. It has two gas turbine engines producing nearly 4,000 horsepower to drive the rotors. Just over 1,000 gallons of fuel on board give it a range of over 400 miles. Lack of a tail rotor makes it more stable in windy conditions and also allows for a rear cargo ramp. The rear cargo ramp makes certain things possible that would be impossible...
