  • U.S. Army's UH-60 Black Hawk is the Front Line Utility Helicopter was the result of lessons learned by the Army during the Vietnam War. While war in Southeast Asia validated the usefulness of helicopters in modern warfare, high helicopter and personnel losses led to a demand for a faster, better armored rotary-wing transport aircraft. The result was the now-iconic UH-60 “Black Hawk helicopter, the Army's front line utility helicopter for the past 40+ years.

    I spent my entire 24 year Army career as Air Assault Infantry. I started in Hueys as they were being phased out and finished my career in Blackhawks. We LOVED the Blackhawk. Compared to the Huey it was a LOT quieter, smoother, faster and the "hell hole" was not nearly as bad.

Combined with various equipment we bought from the US, this should provide a real strategic capabilities and advantage. Hopefully Rafale will be a great addition to the equation for air forces.

    Black Hawk is indeed the pinnacle of helicopters. China bought a batch of such helicopters 30 years ago. Unfortunately, it is impossible to buy such powerful helicopters under US sanctions. However, it took China more than 30 years to develop the same Z-20 as black hawk, and its transportation capacity on the plateau is as excellent as the latest Black Hawk.

    “the S-70 is the latest itteration of the UH-60 for Poland” isn’t a correct statement. S-70 was the original name of the UH-60 until it was adopted by the US military. the licensed export version made in Poland (PZL MIELEC, a Sikorsky company) reverted to the original name S-70 called the S-70i which is the UH-60M “mike” (latest) version…

    1:48 "Light weight composite all moving tail" WTF is that? ... While the newest iteration of the Black Hawk (UH-60M) does have a 3 piece "stabilator" (the wing thing) which is primarily of composite construction, the Black Hawk in the video is a the legacy UH-60L with a stabilator that is a single piece constructed primarily of sheet metal with a Kevlar spar. Additionally the stabilator is attached to the tail of the aircraft. The stabilator's trailing edge slews up and down based on forward airspeed to provide additional lift for the large tail of the aircraft. This is why the Black Hawk when at a hover with little forward airspeed the tail hangs down.
