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.

• The DCS: CH-47F Key Features at early access:
  • Highly detailed external and internal modelling, including cockpit and cargo hold
  • Unmatched helicopter flight dynamics that only DCS can provide
  • Fully interactive, VR-ready cockpit
  • Full set of features will be announced prior to early access release

New feature in the pipeline: we are currently working on a voice recognition system. This means that if you fly with an AI co-pilot, you can give him a command via voice and he will carry it out. Our coder has coding experience in voice recognition since 2004. It is our turn to present you with a unique experience in this regard. In the meantime - our pilots waiting to enter the cockpit

Airplane Simulation Company Questions (From Discord).

• C-130J will be Logistics and airdrop at Lauch.
• Moab will be on launch or slighty later, launched from a MC-130.
• C version first, MC/KC after.
• AC/HH version, If they do one, is a different thing/product.

Added Block version and CMWS info to the FAQ:

What Variant is the DCS: CH-47F?
Currently, we are doing the CH-47F Block 1.

Will our CH-47F have CMWS (Common Missile Warning System)?
This is currently planned, but as with any defensive system for any aircraft, we need to carefully consider this system and implement it in a way that will not dip too close to a controlled and classified system. As such this will come later on in development.
