Boeing CH-47 Chinook
The Chinook
“Two rotors. No tail rotor. Sixty years of getting it done.”

NO PHOTO
Tandem rotors, no tail rotor, the unmistakable thump-thump-thump that means a Chinook is somewhere over the horizon. The Army's heavy-lift helicopter since 1962, still being built, still indispensable. If something heavy needs to move and helicopters are involved, this is the one.
Fun fact
A Chinook can lift a Humvee. Or another helicopter. Or 33 fully-equipped soldiers. Or a 26,000-pound payload — more than the helicopter itself weighs empty.
