Trumpeter 05105 1/35 Helicopter CH-47D Chinook

The CH-47D was the result of a June 1976 contract for a modernized Chinook.

The improvements included a redesigned cockpit to reduce pilot workload, an advanced flight control system, and improved avionics.

The Chinook has two tandem three-bladed counter-rotating fiberglass rotors. The CH-47D is powered by two Allied Signal Engines T55-L-712 3750 shp turboshaft engines and has a maximum speed of 163 mph. The CH-47D made its first flight in May 1979. The CH-47D carries twice the load of a CH-47A and has improved performance.

The CH-47D can operate at night and in nearly all weather conditions. The CH-47D is equipped with an air-to-air refueling probe. The Chinook can accommodate a wide variety of internal payloads, including vehicles, artillery pieces, 33 to 44 troops, or 24 litters plus two medical attendants.
