Boeing CH-47D Chinook

Meet Boeing CH-47D Chinook

The Chinook's tandem-rotor arrangement places one rotor above each end of a long cargo cabin. The opposing rotor systems provide the lifting configuration, leaving the rear available for a loading ramp. Vertol originated the design before it became part of Boeing.

The CH-47 family has evolved through several major versions and specialised derivatives. The D model in this catalogue has its own systems and cockpit identity. Its control and loading arrangements should be understood as those of a tandem-rotor transport, rather than a scaled-up conventional helicopter.
