In 1976 three US Army Chinooks (one for each existent version, A,B and C) were chosen to be converted to the new CH-47D variant which have upgraded engines and a new triple-hook cargo system. The programme started in 1979 and a total of 472 airframes were converted. There were also a few new-built Ds with the last of them delivered in 2002

In 1999, Boeing presented the CH-47SD (or Super-D) for the international market featuring extended range and a glass cockpit.

In 2001, Boeing unveiled the CH-47F a new upgrade that includes at least 300 conversions of the remaining Ds

In 2004, the MH-47G special forces variant was first delivered.
