My father would tell me when he was over in Vietnam that the sound of these choppers would echo through the mountains like nothing else he’s ever heard in his life. 🇺🇸
Yeah that's why they're so fast. Rotors are countering each other so they can use their power for thrust/lift instead of having to sacrifice some power to the tail rotor.
Growing up less than 30 miles from Ft. Hood, I would always see Chinook's, Huey's and Cobra's flying overhead. Later, in my teens, I started training in Hapkido. My instructor was a Cobra mechanic and a second degree black belt. I would often go with him to the base on weekends and rummage around the hangers. It was great fun. I salute the women and men of our GREAT armed forces.
Amazing Aircraft! My father served on a Chinook as a Flight Engineer with the 228th. ASHB/1st. Cavalry Division in Vietnam. Rotated back to Germany where the 228th. cased their colors...and then moved on to the "Sugar Bears" in Alaska! Thank you for sharing your video!
In the 1990s,I was manager of Woodbine ,NJ Airport , when a CH47 came in fast and landed, broken with a mechanical problem. 2 tall American pilots with several short Asians off loaded and climbed up the rear to the engines . Was told , not to worry ,help was coming. They were on a demo training flight out of Philly area and were gone the next morning. Beautiful helio even with problems!
Right after hurricane Katrina in south Mississippi the military landed two of these choppers by the beach near where I was working. Some of us walked over to look. The military guys wouldn't let us get real close but I got close enough to see that chopper is a beast.
That was the loudest aircraft I ever flew on. I had one ride on one. The fillings in my teeth were still vibrating 30 minutes after landing and engine shut down.
More in particualr, that's an "MH-47G Chinook". Used by the 160th SOAR - Special Operations Aviation Regiment - Nightstalkers, based at Fort Worth, Texas. What makes it different from the standard CH-47: Refuling Prob on starboard front side, Increased Fuel capacity, Upgraded Avionics & Electronic Equipment, and higher survivabilty rate deep in enemy territories.
Many wouldn’t know it, but they are highly maneuverable as well. I remember looking out the back in Honduras as the pilots flew low and followed the muddy river through the jungle, banking back and forth at fast speed. That memory has stayed with me since 1992.
I saw a few Australian army Chinooks flying low down the Adelaide beach line a couple years ago, it was awesome.. they’d been helping out with bushfire work. They passed back and forth for about 30 mins..
While watching this, I realised that up top there are bolts or linkages attaching the rotor blades to the heli itself. Those mechanisms and whatever they screw into or connect to have to be able to stand 25 tons worth of lifting force, plus the absurd amount of centrifugal force from the rotor going at full speed. Plus deal with increased load due to any weighr shift, weather or emergency manoeuvres. Absolutely insane.
The Apache look alike that you get in GTA Vice City and San Andreas kept me very busy for a lot of afternoons! Gotta say that I hated flying the Cargo Bob, though!
So I was in logistics when I was in the army. I had the chance to load some of these birds with outgoing cargo in Iraq. They would come in, I’d have the 463L pallet ready. I would approach from the rear of course because the blades were still spinning. Crew person would give me hand signals on which way I should maneuver the pallet. Once it was lined up, they’d wench it into the cargo bay. I got to do that dozens of times. Sometimes I’d look up, the ceiling of the forklift cockpit was glass. I could see the static electricity on the blades. It was really cool
It is extremely likely test flighted this very one, many years ago when it was new. I was told a lot of our E models were C's pulled out of storage and overhauled to an E.
They are a savage aircraft. Incredible versatility. In spite of their size they are the fastest of all the Army’s helicopters. I saw a couple comments about the inside noise. Yep! They sound like they are coming apart when you are on the inside. We always called them BUFF (An acronym meaning Big Ugly Fat F**ker). When you need a lift there is no site more beautiful. 😂
During the Super typhoon Yolanda which hit the Philippines years ago, Chinooks and Ospreys from the US Okinawa base were deployed for relief and rescue operations, Unfortunately the powerful wind drafts created by these super machines blew off many remaining houses and medical and supply tents along the way... Just the same Thank You Big Brother America for getting us on our feet again!
Is there a component or components that connects the two blades together to keep them in sync so they never contact each other or are the blades far enough apart and/or angled to where no contact is possible?? The forward blade appears to be angled whereas the rearward blade appears to be level.Is this only used as a means of maintaining clearance or does the angle of the forward blade also help with forward motion/lift??
Sometimes when I was in my backyard there was one or even two of these flying overhead there was also some smaller helicopters I lived near an airport.
❤❤❤ This is Ken. LORD made me unique as the CHINOOK 47. One flew over my house yesterday. LORD is moving BIGTIME in my life. A few years ago, I watched a TH-cam video of the CHINOOK 47 as I walked my daily walk. Then the LORD guided me at the base of the dam of Old City Lake by my house.I REACHED BLINDLY ( GOD'S GUIDED STEPS) into the mud and pulled out a 1947 solid silver quarter !!! LORD IS AMAZING 😍
It's crazy how flimsy looking those blades look as they go through their pre-checks and the blades Bounce Around and yet those blades can lift that heavy helicopter plus all the payload unbelievable
В случае попадания в один из двигателей, как он себя ведет? У него развесовка рассчитана на два несущих винта🤔 Дополнение. Думаю вертолет рассчитан на попадание в задний винт. В случае попадания в передний винт, весь экипаж скорей всего груз 200
They can is a fire extinguisher for in case a engine catches fire whenever they are starting then and the wire is an ICS cord which is what they use for internal aircraft communications so while he’s standing outside the aircraft he can still talk to the pilots

Flight control travel and hydraulic checks.

Well yeah you gotta do pre flight checks.
I've flown in quite a few of the Chinooks, I never got used to that shake all the time.
My father would tell me when he was over in Vietnam that the sound of these choppers would echo through the mountains like nothing else he’s ever heard in his life. 🇺🇸
I still love the sound of a Huey most of all but Chinook blades have such a lovely sound as well.
I have a video of a Huey. Although it is not a Military Huey.
It gives vets nightmares.
Nothing else looks like a Chinook. Those double rotors are second to none.
CH-46 looks a lot like a 'hook.

And it’s Crazy how they Don’t Collide when they are Spinning!
You should see the Piasecki H-21. They call it "the flying banana" 😆
I never knew the rotaries went in opposite directions….BEAST!!!
Yeah that's why they're so fast. Rotors are countering each other so they can use their power for thrust/lift instead of having to sacrifice some power to the tail rotor.
Kamov entered the chat.....
They counter rotate so the torque can be equalized so the helicopter can fly straight.

The sound of those engines spinning up before take off was fantastic.
You can hear these things coming from miles away. They have a sound no other helicopter has.
Same with the hueys

The centrifugal forces on the hardware that keep those blades on has got to be tremendous!!
It is, but that centrifugal force is necessary to keep the blades rigid.
Ya know on paper helicopters aren't supposed to work, and Boeing said fuck it let's make one with TWO rotors lol
Anyone else ever seen what happens when the droop stops are installed incorrectly???
A masterpiece of engineering. Benchmmark for its Use.
I remember as a kid seeing one if these things pulling logs out of the woods in the canyon.
I bet that was a sight to see

The king of the choppers!
Yes sir!
It an Buff will be around a goood looong while still.
Proven and near irreplaceable with any other competing design.
Not really... but a mammoth for sure
It’s also the fastest helicopter in the U.S. service
This is the first time I've noticed that the front wheels are the dualies. In most any other vehicle, it's the rear wheels.
Aft wheels are the steering wheels.
It's not the prettiest helicopter, but damn is it one of the coolest
So big!

See them frequently flying between Camp Ripley and the downtown St.Paul Airport.

Oh, this is not just a Chinook. This is one of the very few chosen ones, an MH-47.

Hi 👋 ya see 👀 that big ride iloves it 💯 💯 💯 that has soooo much work to be done ✔️ what a great ride 😊😊
Do both sets of blades turn at the same rpms & the only variance is the blade pitch?
MH-47 to be specific, nice catch!
😮😮😮 to cool 😎 awesome 🤩
Is there a component or components that connects the two blades together to keep them in sync so they never contact each other or are the blades far enough apart and/or angled to where no contact is possible??

Have you ever sling loaded under one of these? 101st ABN , old school
I was on a CA in one of these once. It was a hot LZ and was not pleasant. I especially didn't like the little holes appearing in the fuselage.
That is so intimidating but incredible.
Nice ❤❤❤❤
i still dont understand how can the blades rotate but the helicopter get no lift? what gives its lift after the blades are rotating?
They can control the pitch of the rotors with the collective to increase or decrease lift.
I mean I know the Chinook is black but do you think the refuelling probe is long enough? 😁
The probe actually gets even longer.
Nice that they carry Flares, always ready.
Sometimes when I was in my backyard there was one or even two of these flying overhead there was also some smaller helicopters I lived near an airport.

I love the Phrog just as much; bioth are bad ass! Q: why does it taxi, instead of just lifting into the air?
