 WANTED: Video of the Chinook helicopter landing in snow, dust or in the water to add to our collection (but we'll take anything we can get).If you have a VHS video, but lack the computer and program to convert it to a high quality digital file, please send it in to us and we will process it for you. Please don't send a copy of a copy as the quality rapidly degrades every time an analog copy of a tape is made and it isn't worth the effort to process the images. |

| Ground Resonance |
| One of the disadvantages of a fully articulated rotor system, such as that found on the CH-47 Chinook helicopter, is the susceptibility to ground resonance. Items to consider in limiting the chances of encountering ground resonance include ensuring that all tires are inflated to 88 psi and all landing gear struts and blade dampeners are properly serviced. The two videos below show the result of a Chinook helicopter falling victim to ground resonance. The tail number was 84-24156, and was the one that previously encountered uncommanded flight control inputs which resulted in the aircraft performing a barrel roll. After the roll incident, the aircraft was assigned to Aberdeen Proving Grounds in Maryland, and was utilized as a ground test device. |
