My first thought. Ain't no Chinook hauling tanks, IFV, etc. Maybe artillery pieces and utility trucks and such. But tanks?

@@bobbyd6680 tanks are impossible, so yeah artillery pieces, riverine boats and cargo is more accurate

I wonder if they'd shake each other to pieces too from rotor wash otherwise.

@@first-thoughtgiver-of-will2456 look up Chinook ground resonance videos.

I was wondering what would happen if the rotors bend

@@kevinfernandez9999 what do you mean by "bend"?

flex

..em..

special forces sir?

1-60th?

//em//

​@jakegames1870 160th SOAR "Nightstalkers" (not "1-60th "). 160th is the aviation unit that flies special operations missions, SF and other military branch operators do the jumps

If he gets stationed in the 101st I’ll see him soon!!!

Your son could join the Russian army and become a technician of the truly amazing Mi 26

Oh, poor lad. It is an amazing piece of hardware. He's gonna love it as mich as he hates it. And sacrifice a lot of blood and sweat to the chinook God.

@@henrydouberly3950lol I just got out of the 101st as a chinook TI in 2022

Congratulations on the hooker in the family!

Yes, it is. It's come a long way since leaving Ridley Park back in '61.

I've seen Chinooks parked at Norfolk, so the Marines uses them too.

@@andyx6248you have not seen marine 47’s. Maybe 46’s 20 years ago.

@@andyx6248 The USMC used to operate the CH-46, never the CH-47. The '46 is about 2/3 the size of the Chinook, had less internal seating and could not lift as much as the 'Hook. The Sea Knight was more maneuverable but the Chinook never seemed to run out of power. (I flew the '46 as a Marine and then the '47 when I "changed religions" to be come a pilot in the Army Reserves.)

they're at different heights..... super complicated.

They are at different heights you fuckin donut

​@@CallMeByMyMatingNamenot true, they flex. The reason they dont hit, is because they are both connected by the drive shaft in a way that they will never touch, think of it like an old mechanical egg beater

@MilkT0ast So your troll is to pretend you're blind? Kindly observe a photo of the Chinook. Of course, the blades are geared to sweep into the other's gap. I'm not sure why you mention they flex though. It'd be a non-factor, for multiple reasons. Engeneers obviously like redundancies. It's very clear that more than one method was incorporated to keep relatively important parts from whacking each other.

@@CallMeByMyMatingName ok I see you're just one of those dismissive people who while never yield. So good day to you sir.

The cobra came before they started naming helicopters Native American names. Like they had they Huey, the cobra came from the Huey

@@gj1234567899999The actual name for the Huey is the Iroquois. Huey came from the older designation of "Helicopter, Utility 1" or HU-1. But yes, the Cobra was designed from the Huey.

@@gj1234567899999that was the Iroquois

Its because it was a modification of the UH-1. Basically bell made their support heli into an attack heli and the cobra was just the name

You really aren't going to move more than 24,000 lbs

The CH-47 can carry a 2,000 gallon water bucket. This is a very powerful tool used in wild land firefighting. Army National Guard CH-47 units and pilots are expert at wild land fire fighting in their states.

​@@Patriot-bn9omYes sir. I remember a famous photograph of a CH-47 extracting soldiers and civilians and detainees from the roof of a remote villiage in Afghanistan. It was the PA Air Guard pilots. Whenever I went down to Fort Indiantown Gap for training I would watch them hovering in the middle of a field 4 feet above the ground. They did that most of the-mid day to practice stabilization in shifting winds and warm air thermals. It paid off in Afghanistan and Iraq where I got to ride them in action. Those pilots would fly into the rotor wash of the leading Chinook, be blinded by dust, fly in and land sideways all off instruments and night vision. Damned good at their jobs.

@her0inAddict I know the Osprey, but I wouldn't call that an advanced Chinook. I take it you're not a fan of the V22?

Seen some take a hit to the ramp and fly away. That’s what Apaches are for. Escort bitches.

LOL

I used to break Chinooks. CW4 T.H. Nadeau I loved by CE and FEs. When I went through the Chinooks course at Ma Rucker in 1980, after I had finished, I took one of my CEs up in a TH-55 and let him get some stick time. CEs and get stick time in most other helicopters, but not in Chinooks as you have two pilots up front. Oh, my dad commanded the 228th ASHB, 1st Cav Div, in Vietnam in 1967.

Proud Chinook mechanic

Flying one is like spinning a basketball on your left forefinger! Master this, and you can fly a Chinook!

That was driving me crazy but they probably simplified it for the video.

It's precession, not possession.

@@prglass thanks for making that clear. Remembered that word incorrectly and I am not an natural english tongue. But I tried to help. 😄

This is a frequent statement made about gyroscopic precession in helicopter rotors, but it is not correct. The principle of gyroscopic precession is much misunderstood. The theory is that for a perfect gyroscope in which the mass is concentrated at the periphery, when a deflecting force is applied, the resulting deflection will be 90 degrees offset, in the direction of rotation. Such a system is only theoretical. All helicopter rotors have a large mass of the rotor head at the centre, and then the mass of the blades distributed along the length of the blade. Therefor the centre of mass, which affects the gyroscopic action is closer to the centre. As a result, although gyroscopic precession definitely occurs in helicopter rotors, it is definitely not 90 degrees. If you get the opportunity to examine any helicopter main rotor system and its flight controls attached to the swashplate, look at the control input at the front. It will be offset by about 12 degrees ahead of the centreline in the direction of rotation of the rotor. This is the control that will tilt the rotor forwards to get the forward thrust for flight. The exact amount of offset will vary from one aircraft to another, depending on the design of the rotor. Most helicopters have only three input controls to the swashplate, two for roll control and one at the front for pitch control, with a device known as the fixed scissor at the rear.

Both these machines, and the B-52, will see a service life of 100 years before they are replaced in the inventory.
