Top 5 Most Amazing Helicopters of the US Military
Number 5 - Boeing CH-47 Chinook
Developed during the Vietnam and survives to this day in a modern avatar. The CH-47 Chinook has a unique tandem rotor design which allows maximum utilization of the power generated by the engines to lift the helicopter. Since there is no tail rotor, all the power is sent to the 2 main rotors which rotate in opposite directions at different elevations. This gives the Chinook the ability to carry large payloads to high altitudes. With the ability to carry a 24,000-pound (10,800 kg) load underslung / 20,000 pounds (9000 kg) inside the cabin or alternatively 55 troops seated internally, the Chinook is a massive flying truck.
Number 4 - Sikorsky S-64 Skycrane
Well, who would have thought that you could make a crane fly? Well, That is precisely what the designers at Sikorsky had in mind while designing the Sikorsky S-64 Skycrane. Built like a skeleton, this weird looking contraption can haul massive loads underneath its seemingly delicate frame. The large area between its tall legs has a crane which can lift a bulky payload weighing as much as 25,000 pounds (11,300 kg) with ease.
Number 3 - Sikorsky CH-53 Stallion
This is the largest helicopter in the US inventory. With a payload capacity of over 14,000 pounds (6350 kgs) for the initial twin-engine version, it could haul an equivalent weight of 4 fully grown Rhinos. The US military uses this helicopter for troop transport, special forces insertion, casualty evacuation and to lift heavy vehicles like trucks. The CH-53, being a primarily marine helicopter has a watertight hull which enables it to land safely on water in an emergency situation. The earliest variants entered service during the Vietnam War and the most recent variant will now enter production. This again proves the longevity of American helicopter designs.
Number 2 - Boeing AH-64 Apache
Widely accepted as the most advanced attack helicopter in service today, the Apache has formed the backbone of US military ground operations for over 3 decades. It was developed as a replacement for the AH-1 in the US Army. In a bid to make it survivable on a dangerous battlefield, the Apache has armour which allows it to withstand hits from 23 mm anti-aircraft guns and a self-sealing fuel tank which prevents leakage of fuel in case the tank is hit.
Number 1 - Bell V-22 Osprey
The Osprey is the ultimate transformer and is something straight out of a Sci-fi movie. While taking off, it looks like a helicopter with side by side propellers. Nothing unusual there, but the magic starts a few seconds after it lifts off from the ground like a normal helicopter. The rotor blades start to tilt forward with the wing, and as your jaw drops, the helicopter is now a twin propeller aeroplane.
