CH-47 Chinook heavy cargo transporter

Above is a good explanation of how a Chinock's rotors and blade pitch is controlled to maneuver the helicopter. Below we one take off, go through some maneuvers, and then land.

The splash screen for the first video is misleading. An Abrams tank weighs 60 tons. The CH-47 can lift 24 tons. Something does not compute.

Hey now, he's only off by 35 tons or so. What's that, like 10 or 20 Lizzos? A rounding error.
