The CH-47SD International Chinook, launched in 1998, lifts twice as much. At peak production in 1967, the Boeing Vertol Philadelphia plant produced a new Chinook every 24 hours, and by 2002, the Chinook’s high speed and large payload gave it the lowest cost-per-ton-mile of any transport helicopter available. U.S. Army Special Operations Forces also operate Special Operations Chinooks, designated as MH-47Ds and MH-47Es. The MH-47Es are among the most advanced rotorcraft in operation today. Special Operations Chinooks perform low-level, high-speed flights at night and in adverse weather.BI218554 (99-438-135)Maximum size:2560px × 3777px (~27 MB)8.5in × 12.5in (300dpi)License type:Rights ManagedKeywords:1980s-air to air-attack-blue-CH-47D Chinook-clouds-copy space-day-exteriors-flying-gray color-green-H-47 Chinook-helicopters-military-military livery-mountains-muted colors-out of production-photos-right front views-rotorcraft-tandem-rotor helicopters-three-quarter length views-transports-wildernessRelated Photo/Videos:View AllRelated Virtual folders:CH-47A-D Chinook
