Chinook CH-47

Chinook.png


Role Heavy-lift Transport
Manufacturer Boeing Defense
RL First Flight 21 September 1961
RL Introduction 1962
SL First Flight October 2017
SL Introduction 03 May 2018
GTFO Code KSCHINOOK

This virtual CH-47D is a reproduction of the Boeing Chinook tandem rotor heavy-lift helicopter. Work on the Chinook began by Vertol in 1957 with the first helicopters entering service in 1962. With a tripple hook cargo system, the CH-47D can carry external payloads up to 26,000 pounds. The CH-47D is also ideal for carrying cargo or personel.

This virtual CH-47 from Shergood Aviation has the most advanced systems model of any helicopter in Second Life. Features include:

  • Shergood Flight System
  • Compatible with GTFO
  • OnBoard system allows crew to walk around cabin in flight
  • Fully functioning cockpit
  • Nearly 100 functioning switches/knobs
  • Start sequence based on (and nearly identical to) the RL Chinook
  • Six fuel tanks with both gravity and single-point refueling systems
  • Five transmission systems with independent fluid tracking and monitoring instruments
  • Three separate hydraulic systems with independent fluid tracking and monitoring instruments
  • Functioning maintenance panel
  • Three hook external cargo system
  • Rescue hoist system
  • Simulated failures
  • AFCS (Autopilot)
  • GPS Navigation
  • Instrument Approaches
