The U.S. Army has signed a contract with Boeing for the delivery of nine additional CH-47F Block II Chinook helicopters, the aviation company revealed last week.
In a statement released by Boeing on October 21, the company disclosed that it received two contracts from the U.S. Army totaling $461 million.
These contracts, Boeing revealed, cover Lots 4 and 5 and bring the total number of Block II aircraft ordered by the U.S. Army to 18.
The company also stated that it is “working closely with the Army to define a path forward for Lot 6.”
Heather McBryan, Vice President and Cargo Program Manager at Boeing, said that “the rapid succession of contracts indicates that the Chinook will continue to play a key role in the U.S. Army’s family of systems, particularly in a contested logistics environment.”
2️⃣ awards for Block II!
Thank you, @USArmy, for ordering nine CH-47F Block II #Chinook helicopters.
Joining nine aircraft already on contract, these Block II Chinooks will bring enhanced lift, range and sustainment for the missions ahead.
