US Army Aviation Black Hawk

Entering service in 1979, the UH-60 provide air assault, general support, aeromedical evacuation, command and control and special operations support. The Black Hawk is a utility tactical transport helicopter that replaces the UH-1 Huey enhancing the overall mobility of the Army. An entire 11-person, fully-equipped infantry squad can be lifted in a single aircraft, transported faster than in predecessor systems and in most weather conditions. It can also reposition a 105mm howitzer, its crew of six, and lift up to 30 rounds of ammunition in a single lift. Its critical components and systems are armored or redundant, and its airframe is designed to progressively crush on impact to protect the crew and passengers.
