unknown to many... the engines give the most problems
the T55 of the chinook is problematic.
that's why in the engine community, if we hear anything wrong with the engine. the engine man will whisper to us "must be chinook" -

it included F-15 Eagle and F4 Phantom, and no Hornet
plus F117..is really a bomber, not a fighter

F-18 is kinda short range than even the F-16 if I didn't remember wrongly
Anyway, Canada uses the CH-46 -
dun worry, pumas are on standby.Originally posted by sbst275:

remember one year chinooks were supposed to fly? their fleet got grounded, pumas had to take over.
everyone forgets the backbone. -

ch64?Originally posted by the Bear:yeah.. that's why it's no10

isn't it ch47?
anyway some kakis from USA say the yanks don't call it chinooks, they identify the aircrafts by the engines.
so they call the chinook a t55. -
CH46 and CH47?? AH64 is Apache lehOriginally posted by kopiosatu:ch64?

key in wrongly.. multi-tasking.. watching tv, reading news, checking out this forums
my brain isn't working at normal speed yet i'm pushing it -
Would this have something to do with the Chinooks' propensity for FODding their powerplants?Originally posted by kopiosatu:All USA choppers.

oooh doppler radar on seaking... we have it on the puma.
-
where is the radar mounted actually?Originally posted by kopiosatu:oooh doppler radar on seaking... we have it on the puma. -
don't think so, because engine FOD ingestion is quite a big issue.Originally posted by Meia Gisborn:Would this have something to do with the Chinooks' propensity for FODding their powerplants?
so far its internal problems. -
the doppler?Originally posted by laurence82:where is the radar mounted actually?
bottom rear of the fuselage, some big rectangle thingy. -
what was that flying tank the soviets had?
the idiots in the US built a tank to shoot those things down...
sadly, weapon range of the flying tank > weapon range of the tank
add to that, the inability of the tank to track low-flying aircraft -
The MiG21 and 23 if I could remember, gave the yankees lots of headaches
Anyway, I miss the Mei Hong Yuen's products, no no, I dun mean their roasted peanuts It's their desserts
