Agustawestland Chinook ICH-47F
The ICH-47F Chinook helicopter is an AgustaWestland license built
variant of the latest development of the world famous Chinook
helicopter, the CH-47F, developed for and in service with the US Army.
The ICH-47F customised version incorporates all features to meet the
latest requirements of the Italian Army for Secure Communications
system, Self protection system and Advanced Datalink system. This new
ICH-47F Chinook has a MTOW of 50000 lb, is equipped with high power
engines giving it excellent ‘hot and high’ capability and is suitable
for operations during day/night, visual and instrument meteorological
conditions. The primary tactical mission of the ICH-47F aircraft is to
provide air transportation for internal/external cargo, troops and
weapons within the combat area. The helicopters payload, long range and
high cruise speed make the Chinook a unique asset. In addition, the
helicopter is suitable for special support functions, disaster relief
and fire fighting. The Joint Industrial Agreement between AgustaWestland
and Boeing also includes a licensing arrangement that enables
AgustaWestland to market, sell and produce these “Chinooks” for the
United Kingdom and other Countries.
