Design
The CH-46 has tandem contrarotating rotors that were powered by two [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] turboshaft engines.
The engines are mounted on each side of the rear rotor pedestal with a driveshaft to the forward rotor.
The engines are coupled so either could power both rotors in an emergency.
The rotors feature three blades and could be folded for on-ship operations.

The CH-46 has a cargo bay with a rear loading ramp that could be removed or left open in flight for extended cargo or for parachute drops.
A belly sling hook could be attached for carrying external cargo.
It has a crew of three. A pintle-mounted 0.50 in (12.7 mm) Browning machine gun was mounted on each side of the helicopter for self-defense.
Service in southeast Asia resulted in the addition of armor with the guns.

The CH-46 has fixed tricycle landing gear, with twin wheels on all three units.
The gear configuration causes a nose-up stance to facilitate cargo loading and unloading.
The main gear are fitted in rear sponsons that also contained fuel tanks with a total capacity of 350 US gallons
(1,438 L).[Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien]

Operational history
Military
Known colloquially as the "Phrog", and used in all Marine combat and peacetime environments since its introduction.
Still regularly flown by the Marine Corps, its longevity as a reliable airframe has led to such mantras as "phrogs phorever" and "never trust a helicopter under 30".
