DCS WORLD CH-47F Chinook Pre-Order
WAUW! Nu hier te pre-orderen voor 48,99 USD (Later 69,99 USD), we hebben het over de CH-47F Chinook “Foxtrot” (versie met moderne glass cockpit) voor DCS World. Een geweldige combi met de al eerder uitgegeven Apache.
UPDATE: Op 26 Juni zal de Chinook te downloaden zijn en dus te gebruiken, op die dag zal overigens ook de pre-order korting verlopen en zal ze dus een stuk duurder zijn zoals hierboven vermeld.
Key Features and Capabilities of the CH-47F
- Tandem Rotor Design:
- The CH-47F features a distinctive tandem rotor system with two counter-rotating rotors. This design provides exceptional handling qualities and allows for a large lift capacity, which is crucial for carrying heavy payloads. The absence of a tail rotor also enhances safety in confined areas and simplifies maintenance, offering unhindered rear cargo and troop loading in addition to side door access.
- Powerful Performance:
- Powered by two Honeywell T55-GA-714A engines, the CH-47F offers impressive power and performance. These engines deliver up to 4,868-shaft-horsepower combined, enabling the aircraft to reach speeds over 175 mph (282 km/h) with a payload of more than 21,000 pounds (9,500kg).
- Cargo Handling and Versatility:
- The CH-47F’s large cargo hold can accommodate a wide variety of loads, from standard palletized goods to vehicles and artillery, as well as the fuel cells for “Fat Cow” operations. Its rear-loading ramp and three external cargo hooks provide multiple options for loading and unloading, facilitating efficient logistics operations under diverse conditions.
- Advanced Avionics and Systems:
- The “glass-cockpit” of the CH-47F is equipped with advanced avionics, including a Rockwell Collins Common Avionics Architecture System (CAAS) cockpit, BAE Systems’ Digital Advanced Flight Control System (DAFCS), night vision-compatible displays, and modern navigation systems. These enhancements improve situational awareness and flight safety, particularly in challenging environments.
- Crew Capacity and Configuration:
- Typically operated by a crew of three (two pilots and a flight engineer), the CH-47F can also carry up to 3 gunners.
- Enhanced Survivability:
- Advanced countermeasures suite, which includes radar warning receivers, infrared countermeasures, and a missile warning system. Its rugged airframe and systems redundancy are designed to withstand significant damage.
The CH-47F is an essential component of any military or humanitarian fleet, capable of performing in the most demanding situations. Its enduring design and continual updates ensure that it will remain a key player in aviation for years to come.
