Boeing 234 Vertol Original Factory Sales Brochure
The Boeing Model 234 was the commercial derivative of the CH-47 family of Chinooks.

some of the other pages show this too. It is not a big distraction. This is a very nice brochure as you would expect from Boeing and somewhat rare.
It measures approx. 8 1/2 X 11 inches and is printed on heavy glossy paper. It will be carefully packaged and mailed in a rigid photo-mailer.
Please ask any questions before bidding. Thanks
Note: Please check ESTIMATED DELIVERY time/date before bidding.
The
Boeing Model 234 was the commercial derivative of the CH-47
family of Chinooks. First built for British Airways to carry passengers and cargo to
offshore oil platforms in the North Sea, it incorporated many of the latest
technological advances in aircraft development. These included fiberglass
composite rotor blades, composite airframe structures, improved engine and
drive systems, advanced avionics, and a triple cargo-hook suspension system.
The
Model 234 had more windows than its military counterpart and had a longer nose
to house weather radar. The utility version, the Model 234UT, had a
51,000-pound gross weight capacity and could lift extremely heavy equipment,
pipelines, towers, bulk containers or even another helicopter.
The
long-range passenger version, Model 234LR, could fly 644 miles and had an
interior design much like Boeing commercial airplanes, including a galley and
overhead bins.
In
addition to its service as a commercial transport, the Model 234 proved to be
useful in a variety of functions. In 1987, a Model 234 established a new record
for hanging wire when it strung two power lines from 570-foot-high transmission
towers 1.5 miles apart on either side of a river in China.
Model
234s also were used to harvest timber in Washington state. On fire duty in
1988, they dropped more than 2.25 million gallons of water in 13 days on forest
fires near West Yellowstone, Mont.
