With its tandem-rotor design (two propellers, one at the front and one at the back), the Chinook is one of the most easily identified helicopters in the world. It can carry 45 fully equipped troops or up to 28,000 pounds of cargo or small vehicles at speeds up to 185 mph. Its large load carrying ability makes the Chinook an ideal battlefield support aircraft.
