In a typical combination layout, 18 passengers can by accommodated in the forward area of the cabin, with 16,000 lbs. of freight at the rear. In an all-cargo configuration up to 20,000 lbs. can be carried internally, or a maximum of 28,000 lbs. externally, suspended from a cargo hook or hooks. The CH-47C was powered by two 3,750-shp Avco Lycoming T55-L-11A turboshafts, giving the helicopter a maximum speed at sea level of 178 mph, cruising speed of 160 mph, service ceiling of 10,800 feet, and a mission radius of 115 miles.
