Impr Cargo Helicopter
Abstract
The CH-47 Chinook is the only heavy lift helicopter for the Army and is an essential element of the current Army Aviation master plan. This program funds improvements to the CH-47F System that include: T55-GA-714A engine control and component upgrades to increase power to support emerging 6K/95 requirements, continued development and testing of the Advanced Chinook Rotor Blades (ACRB) which will provide increased lift in high/hot conditions and reduce O&S costs. Production of the ACRB will begin in FY 2017. Funding also initiates advanced flight control and drive train component improvements to improve aircraft performance. Development of requirements specifications, studies and risk reduction prototyping are also part of this effort.
