Chinook question
Anyone familiar with Chinook helicopters? I was watching Ice Airport Alaska and one segment was on an airlift using a Chinook. I got wondering if a Chinook can fly on one engine if the other fails. I know it depends on weight load etc. but just wondering if it is even possible at all if conditions are within certain parameter windows.
It's fine if you disagree. I can't force you to be correct.

A pistol without a round chambered is an expensive paper weight.

But more amazing is this:
‘Did you know that CH-47 crew can land the Chinook on water, shut down, climb up on top for a photo, then get back in, start up and take off?’

Re: Chinook question
Thanks. I saw the first one and thought it could but I thought someone here might know for certain and be more reliable. I hadn't seen the second link. Interesting.flechero wrote: ↑Mon Jan 09, 2023 3:05 pm It looks like it can!

Re: Chinook question
A friend of mine flew them in the Army, but he pronounced "Chinook" rudely. The forum safe version would be "Stuff-hook".
The sooner I get behind, the more time I have to catch up.
