The prototype's flight took place in 1961, and the machine entered service in 1962. The helicopter - in the CH-47F version - has a total length of 30.1 meters, and the diameter of its rotors is 18.3 meters. The drive is provided by two Lycoming T55-GA-714A engines with 4733 HP each. Its maximum speed in horizontal flight reaches about 315 km \/ h. The helicopter has a two-rotor - tandem system and is devoid of a tail boom.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWork on the CH-47 Chinook machine began in the late 1950s, when the US Army wanted to replace the CH-37 Mojave helicopter with a completely new machine with a much more modern power unit and better performance. Finally, a machine was created with an unusual tandem system, but meeting the requirements set for it. What's more, as it turned out over time, it also has a large modernization potential. During production, many development versions of this successful transport helicopter were created, among which the following can be mentioned: CH-47A (the first version produced in series), CH-47B (version with stronger engines and redesigned hull) or CH-47F (version tested in 2001, with a definitely modernized avionics, new engine and chassis). The CH-47 Chinook helicopter gained considerable popularity and, in various versions, it has been or is still operated by countries such as the USA, Egypt, Greece and Canada.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","published_at":"2025-02-21T15:37:17+02:00","created_at":"2025-02-21T15:37:13+02:00","vendor":"Trumpeter","type":"Scale Model Kits","tags":["Brand_Trumpeter","Category_Aircraft","Scale_1\/72 Scale","Type_Helicopters"],"price":64995,"price_min":64995,"price_max":64995,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":46946765504763,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"9580208016214","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"Trumpeter - 1\/72 CH-47A Chinook Medium-Lift Helicopter","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":64995,"weight":0,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":null,"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/jixhobbies.co.za\/cdn\/shop\/files\/Trumpeter---1-72-CH-47A-Chinook-Medium-Lift-Helicopter.jpg?v=1740145036"],"featured_image":"\/\/jixhobbies.co.za\/cdn\/shop\/files\/Trumpeter---1-72-CH-47A-Chinook-Medium-Lift-Helicopter.jpg?v=1740145036","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":38207637946619,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.286,"height":412,"width":530,"src":"\/\/jixhobbies.co.za\/cdn\/shop\/files\/Trumpeter---1-72-CH-47A-Chinook-Medium-Lift-Helicopter.jpg?v=1740145036"},"aspect_ratio":1.286,"height":412,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/jixhobbies.co.za\/cdn\/shop\/files\/Trumpeter---1-72-CH-47A-Chinook-Medium-Lift-Helicopter.jpg?v=1740145036","width":530}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch1\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1\/72 CH-47A Chinook Medium-Lift Helicopter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrumpeter 01621\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExcludes all glues, paints and tools necessary to assemble.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_attachment\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe CH-47 Chinook is a heavy transport helicopter of American production from the Cold War and modern times, which is currently (2019) manufactured by Boeing Helicopters.
