5 Reasons an Army Chinook Helicopter is Awesome...An Army MH-47 or CH-47 Chinook Helicopter is awesome for multiple reasons such as its speed, bathrooms, espresso machine, and fully stocked fridge. An MH-47 can even refuel in flight! In all seriousness, it’s a pretty incredible helicopter that has served our nation well over the years. Its name, Chinook, is from the Native American Chinook people of Washington State.
The American-built Chinook helicopter is a twin-engined, tandem rotor, heavy lift, and assault helicopter manufactured by Boeing. The CH-47 Chinook helicopter is among the heaviest lifting helicopters. Its first flight was in 1961, and it has a top speed of 170 knots (200 mph; 310 km/h).
