| This is a very detailed model of the CH-47 Chinook cargo/transport helicopter, in United States Army markings. The model has 4K bump maps and texture maps, which are easily modified with downloadable Photoshop template files. Major mechanical components are all pivoted and grouped for easy animation. The CH-47 Chinook is a highly versatile, twin engine, twin rotor heavy-lift helicopter. The contra-rotating rotors eliminate the need for a rear vertical rotor, allowing all power to be used for vertical lift and provide a speed of 173 mph (150 knots, 278 km/h). Its primary missions range from troop movements and artillery emplacement to battlefield resupply. Chinooks have been sold to 16 nations, the largest users of which are the US Army and the Royal Air Force, see RAF Chinook.
