No, they are not. CH47 is almost twice as large as the CH46.

CH46 and CH47s are nearly identical.

Are you talking about CH47s Delta or Foxtrot?

Delta. CH46 is about 46 feet long with 50 foot rotors, and CH47 is almost 100 feet long with 60 foot rotors. There are 11 variants of the 47 and over 15 variants of the 46, so it can get confusing.

Sorry, but Finn is right....the 46 is no where near the 47....

Do you really want to know the difference in the "D" and "F"?

The first 120 inches of the "F" is a single piece of aluminum and has the "cut outs" in the rear pylon to be able to remove the AFT XMSN with the AFT pylon and also has quick disconnects for the hydraulics on the aft pylon so it can be quickly disassembled for C-5 transportation...

Besides those, and a few digital gauges..."D" and "F" are pretty much the same...

Now, you want to talk "E" and "G" model 47's then yes....

But the 46 and 47 are 2 completely different machines entirely..not even close....

when do we stop?

our credit rating is shot, our people are dying, other people are dying, our debt load is rising, and most americans oppose the war.

when will this president listen to us?
Were you listening when the President announced plans to withdraw 10,000 troops from Afghanistan next year?

Were you listening when President Obama put a $4 trillion deficit reduction deal on the table that included $3 trillion in spending cuts and $1 million dollars in revenue increase that the Republicans turned down to due to the revenue increase?

Were you listening when S&P stated that it would take at least $4 trillion in deficit reduction for the United States to keep it's AAA credit raining


Were you listening when John Boehner said "I got 98% of what I wante from this deal" when a deal was reached on only $1 trillion in intiatial cuts and MAYBE another 1.1 to 1.4 trillion in addtional cuts later?

Where you listening when the Republicans used the phrase of "We're Going To Hurt Some People" as their theme for the debt negotiations.

Were you listening when Mitch McConnell freely admitted he took the full faith and credit of the United States hostage and actually siad he's willinmg to do it again.

Were you listening when the S&P stated the acrimonious negotiations in the debt ceiling deal and the small amount of cuts where key factors in lowering the credit rating of the United States?

It would appear it's not the Preisident that is not listening to the American people.

Callous? Me? No, you are the one using the death 31 US soldiers to take digs at the president with comments like "when will this president listen to us" and "when do we stop?

What happened to you?
Please everyone, don't mock this unfortunate soul.
This is the best he can do.

Well, all of you warmongers that keep rationalizing these wars, justifying American nation building, and endorsing U.S. revenge killings more than 10 years after the events of 9-11, only have yourselves and your President to blame for the killing of these and other U.S. troops that will lose their lives in Iraq and Afghanistan. Give yourselves a standing ovation!

I can't prove a negative. But you can prove me wrong by showing me news articles of large anti-war protest going on since Obama was sworn in as president.
