🇺🇸 The U.S. Army just had a CH-47F Chinook complete a fully automated landing… with zero pilot input. Powered by Boeing’s A2X autonomy system, it’s hitting landing accuracy within five feet, even in rough, low-visibility conditions. Pilots still set the mission and can override anytime, but the workload? Slashed. Add in upgraded Block II Chinooks with more lift and range, and you’ve got a 60-year-old workhorse quietly turning into a semi-autonomous war machine. Source: Interesting Engineering

They Called It The Flying Banana. How Piasecki's Weird Helicopter Changed Aviation Before The Chinook: There Was The Piasecki Flying Banana Discover the history of the Piasecki Helicopter Corporation and the development of the tandem-rotor helicopter in this restored historical documentary. Featuring rare footage of the HRP "Rescuer"-famously nicknamed the " Flying Banana and how a radical design philosophy transformed the helicopter from a light observation tool into a heavy-lift transport vehicle capable of changing the logistics of war and peace. Manufacturer: Piasecki Helicopter Corporation Key Model: PV-3 / HRP-1 Rescuer Nickname: "The Flying Banana" First Flight: 1945 Configuration: Tandem-rotor transport Powerplant: 1 x Pratt & Whitney R-1340 Wasp radial engine (600 hp) Key Innovation: First successful tandem rotor helicopter, offering large center-of-gravity range and heavy lift capability. Legacy: The design principles established by the Flying Banana evolved into the H-21 Workhorse and ultimately the CH-47 Chinook.

🚁 Wait... did that 22-ton helicopter just REVERSE on two wheels? That's the legendary CH-47 Chinook, putting on an incredible display at RAF Cosford on Sunday, June 8th, 2025. Watch as it balances on its main landing gear, reverses with astonishing precision, then powers into low-level passes and tight banks that look almost impossible for a helicopter this size. Powered by two Honeywell T55 turboshaft engines and its iconic tandem-rotor design, the Chinook can lift over 10 tonnes of cargo, transport 33+ fully equipped troops, and reach places where no runway exists. This isn't just airshow theater, it's the same precision that has made the Chinook one of the world's most trusted heavy-lift helicopters for combat, special operations, disaster relief, and humanitarian missions. 🎥 : carlscott9611

A stupid careless brainless young man got in the lift with his dog without a leash and muzzle. The lift opened and the dog bit a domestic help who was waiting for the lift. Dog lover owner left with his dog without saying anything. The poor maid, unable to walk properly, got in the lift, kept crying and proceeded to do her work. This happened in the posh Amrapali Village Society in Indirapuram, Ghaziabad. What is the point of education if people don't even have a little compassion and common sense? I hope UP POLICE will take appropriate action against the culprit.

This is what 2,000+ horsepower looks like when it gets airborne. 🔥 Two U.S. Army CH-47 Chinooks lifting off together — twin rotors, massive lift, and an airframe built to move serious weight. That tandem-rotor layout isn’t just iconic. It gives the Chinook incredible lifting capability while keeping the aircraft highly maneuverable at low speed. From troop transport to heavy logistics, the Chinook has been doing the job for decades.

Artemis II will lift off tomorrow, fly around the moon and return safely back to earth. It starts with the six engines producing 8.8 million pounds of thrust and ends with a splashdown off the coast of California and a ship recovering the astronauts and capsule. Here’s an animation of many of the dynamic and exciting steps that happen in between!

‼️🇺🇸💥The iconic CH-47 Chinook once again proves its worth in high-stakes ops. In the Jan 3, 2026 raid on Caracas, MH-47G variants from the 160th SOAR inserted elite forces to capture Maduro amid airstrikes suppressing defenses. Twin rotors, heavy lift, night ops mastery—Chinooks enabled rapid ingress/extraction in urban chaos. A workhorse since Vietnam, still dominating modern special ops. Precision, power, and reliability 🔥

I have met with dissidents, the president, and people from across the political spectrum in Cuba. Everyone agrees that the collective punishment of the Cuban people is wrong. The US must lift the embargo, allow fuel into Cuba, and build a relationship that benefits all of us.
