About the Chinook

The Chinook, manufactured by Birdman in Canada, is a single-seat, pusher-configuration high-wing ultralight aircraft. It is categorized as an ultralight fixed-wing aircraft featuring a lightweight structure, making it suitable for recreational flying and bush operations.

First flown in December 1982, the design evolved through multiple models and has seen widespread completion in kit form. The aircraft achieved notable success through various aviation awards, extreme endurance flights across Australia, and record-breaking short takeoff and landing performances in bush flying competitions.
