Sikorsky Black Hawk
in US Army Aviation

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. Many auctioned for second-hand commercial service aircraft. As of 2018, the US Army has 2135 H-60 of all variants in service. Half of them are M type. Others 900, mostly L, are use by the Army National Guard.
