Six More MH-47G Block II for US Army Special Forces
Boeing, November 26, 2021 - PHILADELPHIA, PA - Boeing will build six more MH-47G Block II Chinooks for the U.S. Army Special Operations Aviation Command as part of a $246.48 million contract.

Delivery of these aircraft is scheduled to start in 2023. With this additional order, Boeing is now under contract for 30 MH-47G Block II Chinooks, four of which have been delivered to date.

These aircraft will be the first to include the new Active Parallel Actuator Subsystem (APAS), a mission system that helps pilots execute more difficult maneuvers while improving the safety and reliability of flight.

“APAS is one of many next-level capabilities that allow the Chinook to deliver more payload – faster, farther, and smarter,” said Andy Builta, Boeing vice president and H-47 program manager.

The MH-47G Block II Chinook also features improved structure and weight reduction initiatives like new lighter-weight fuel pods that increase performance and efficiency.
