    Sounds like a cross between a plane and a helicopter .... I'm sure the American's will have something similar ....or most probably better, being as this has been in operation for 17 years. It's probably already in Space now as we speak :*:#

    With a maximum speed of 315km/h, the CH-47F Chinook is the world’s fastest military helicopter. Manufactured by Boeing Defense, Space & Security, the Chinook is capable of performing multiple missions and was first fielded by the US Army’s operational unit in July 2007 for the transportation of troops, artillery, equipment and cargo in support of combat and humanitarian relief operations.

    The helicopter incorporates an upgraded airframe and a high-capacity fuel system, allowing it to cover twice the distance of similar helicopters. Its tandem rotor layout allows operability in adverse weather, high altitude and crosswind conditions.

    Two powerful Honeywell T55-GA-714A engines generating 4,777shp (3,529kW) of power each enable the CH-47F fly at altitudes up to 20,000ft (6,096m) while carrying a load of 10,886kg. The helicopter’s fuel tank holds 3,194l of fuel, ensuring a mission radius of 370.4km

    It’s got “Made in China” on the side so it is probably a copy and won’t last very long anyway.
