The CH-46 Sea Knight is a twin-turbine, tandem-rotor medium-lift helicopter developed by Boeing Vertol, primarily utilized by the U.S. Marine Corps and Navy from the 1960s through the early 2000s. Designed for ship-to-shore transport of troops, equipment, and casualties, the CH-46 featured a maximum gross weight of 24,300 pounds, a cruising speed of approximately 145 mph, and the ability to carry up to 25 combat-loaded troops or 4,000 pounds of cargo internally. Its dual-rotor configuration provided exceptional stability and maneuverability, particularly in confined landing zones, making it a critical asset in vertical replenishment, amphibious assault, and medevac operations throughout conflicts such as Vietnam, the Gulf War, and Operation Iraqi Freedom.
