Overview
The Cargobob is a Grand Theft Auto helicopter (heavy lift) modelled on the Boeing CH-47 Chinook and built in-game by Western. It has been part of the series since GTA San Andreas (2004).
The Real-World Machine It Copies
In the real world the Cargobob stands in for the Boeing CH-47 Chinook. The tandem twin-rotor layout is what lets heavy-lift helicopters of this type sling vehicles and cargo underneath.
History in the GTA Series
The Cargobob is a heavy-lift twin-rotor helicopter that can carry vehicles via a hook, used in story missions and GTA Online heists. It has appeared since San Andreas as the series' transport helicopter.
What We Actually Know About It in GTA 6
Rockstar has not shown or named the Cargobob for GTA 6. Given that it (or a close equivalent) has recurred across the series, it is reasonable to expect something like it to appear — but that is an expectation drawn from franchise history, not a confirmed fact.
