With those three monsters stirring up turbulence on the transient ramp if I was parked out there I'd be inside praying that my airplane was securely tied down.
GE appliances are now made in China. I know I brought a refrigerator at home depot and the sales person swore it was made in the U.S. A year later I found the compressor was Chinese...
i flew with the old version, we were only a squad in the cargo area, those things perform like sportscars, you can feel the huge amount of power in every moment. Sure the pilot had his fun during that low lewel flight.
Last year at the MCAS Beaufort airshow I got to see the marines demonstrate a front line extraction with one of these helicopters. That shit was so cool. That was one of my favorite performances.
One of these flew over my house here in NY at 100ft altitude and it shook the windows and my entire house. It was louder than 2 Blackhawks at the same altitude.
Amazing they don’t crash more. I would hope the new birds have better reliability. Something like 250000moving parts in a D model IIRC. Sorry about your pal.
I didn't know that they engaged rotors before all the engines have started. The difference in tip height above ground is impressive even when fully feathered . These are beasts.❤ I can almost smell the kerosene all the way over here in the UK.
OK. Okay. These machines in the right hands can do wonders. But what about the guys who build them? That's the best of the best! And that's what I envy, what I'd like to be a part of, to do something like that for humanity :)
They should have been named hurricanes because they will blow you to the ground when they land close to you from the rotor wash. A Ch-46/47 is just as bad.
They most certainly are. I have had the pleasure if seeing them being built and all stages of ground and flight operations. They have a very distinctive “Ground Growl” so to speak.
Such a pretty bird. The Marine Corps' White Whale. Doesn't have the same rugged look of the Super Stallions but makes up for it in the curves. Also it's scary how fast these helicopters can move when they need to.

The CH-53K uses a seven-blade rotor system primarily to enhance its lift capacity, improve performance in challenging environments, reduce vibration, and ensure greater reliability when carrying heavy payloads. This rotor system is specifically designed to meet the needs of its mission profile, which includes heavy-lift operations and operation in demanding conditions, rather than prioritizing speed or agility. The increase in the number of blades helps the CH-53K excel in these areas, making it a more effective and versatile platform for military and transport missions.
this, yours is the first video i've seen on YT featuring the 53K variation since Sikorsky announced it's production, ALL the others coming to my feed were the previous model... and if I'm viewing EC 135s, Apaches, Tocanos, C-130s and such on YT i would think the CH-53K would have come to me sooner. Thanks for this vid.
Taken from Google: "The main rotor of a helicopter typically turns counterclockwise while the tail rotor rotates clockwise because this design counteracts the torque produced by the main rotor, which would otherwise cause the helicopter to spin in the opposite direction of the main rotor's rotation; the tail rotor thrusts in the opposite direction to maintain stability and allow the pilot to control yaw (turning left or right)."
If the noise inside a CH-53K is anything like a CH-53E it would very loud inside the helicopter even with hearing protection. I remember the first time I time I was in a CH-53E and the noise was unbearable

Per engine, General Electric estimates the "Specific fuel consumption: ~0.4 lb/hp-h". If I'm interpreting this correctly, it means each engine burns .4 pounds of fuel per horsepower, per hour. In other words (assuming my interpretation is correct), all three engines combined would burn 9,000 pounds of fuel per hour operating at the max HP of 7,500. .4lbs * 7,500 hp = 3,000lbs per hour 3k lbs * 3 engines = 9,000 lbs per hour
Seeing that white vapor come out of the exhaust tube when they start suggests that the fuel is not gas. I suspect it is kerosene but I am not absolutely sure.
@@danielclark2934 These engines burn kerosene. The white smoke is burning engine all. The labyrinth oil seals in the engine bearings are letting oil pass into the hot gases as the engine is starting. When the compressor air pressure builds up as the engine is accelerating the labyrinth seals do their thing and stop the oil from passing through, hence no more white smoke.
@@coldstartarchives Jet fuel weighs roughly 6.6/lbs per gallon. So that works out to 1,363 gallons per hour total fuel burn at full power. The Lycoming IO-360 variant in my Zlin 242-L burns 16 GPH at full power and it's good for 200 HP. 😉
You're thinking of the HH-3E, a variant of the S-61R (also CH-3C/E). The S-61R first flew in 1959, while the CH-53Ks first flew in 2015! According to Wikipedia, "the fuselage layout [of the S-61R] was used by Sikorsky for the larger CH-53 variants".
A brilliant comment I found online says, "Find me a bird that looks like a helicopter. They stand in defiance to gods creation and as such require significant engineering to withstand their heresy"
Cold start? After living in the northern parts of the U.S. and going outside when its -20 or -35 to start my car after it sat outside all night is what I call a cold start! The title is a bit disingenuous, IMO. I have built several models of this Helo and several hundred other armor/ aircraft and a few ships over the years and living in rural US. and the majority of ex military vehicles I see are trucks used in the logging trade.
That may be what you call a cold start, but a cold start simply refers to the temperature of the engine's fluids when it is started, not the outside air temperature
Absolutely love these helicopters
Damn, that tail rotor is huge!
Those new 53s sure are a sight to see!!

C'est un sacré morceau !!!💪💪💪
These GE engines are an impressive bit of technology and quality. (Too bad GE home appliances aren't the same!!!!)
Those same engines are being evaluated by Boeing/GE/US Army for use on the CH-47.
I believe ge appliances are made in China using the name Haier
That’s because if there engines go it’s the government not a blender but totally agree

If you paid 23 million dollars for that washing machine, it woupd perform similarly, it would also kiss you goodnight. Lol

When your tail rotor is larger compared to most helicopter main rotors! You know factually you are "King!" CH53 King Sea Stallion! Thoroughbred
Long live the King.
Very cool! Haven’t seen the mighty K in person
To fully realize how massive these beasts are you should stand near one as it’s running, just an amazing experience.

What is the advantage of 6 blades vs 3 blades? More lift, speed, efficiency?

I love helicopters
kevlar helmets for ground crew?
that´s one hell of a chopper - lovely and oldschool. Gonna miss them when the german military is going to retire their old girls
I would love to see the transmission this has to take power from 3 engines, reduce it to main rotor rpm and also the tail rotor.
On the third bird startup. Shouldn’t the ramp be dropped on start in case of a fire?
They kick up a hell of a salt spray when landing on the carrier deck. You can lean on the rotor downwash...
King of rotary truboshaft aircraft!
Hi why do the main rotors turn anticlockwise and tail rotor goes clockwise cheers from Scotland
Taken from Google: "The main rotor of a helicopter typically turns counterclockwise while the tail rotor rotates clockwise because this design counteracts the torque produced by the main rotor, which would otherwise cause the helicopter to spin in the opposite direction of the main rotor's rotation; the tail rotor thrusts in the opposite direction to maintain stability and allow the pilot to control yaw (turning left or right)."

If the noise inside a CH-53K is anything like a CH-53E it would very loud inside the helicopter even with hearing protection. I remember the first time I time I was in a CH-53E and the noise was unbearable

That looks like a refueling pipe on the front , how's that possible ? James Stewart UK
That is correct, these can be refueled by aircraft like a C130 running drogues.
@@coldstartarchives surely they must lose a lot of fuel lines with helicopter blades, it's hard enough with a jet ? Jimmy.
Thankfully they do not, as the pilots are highly skilled and drogue lines do not form high angles by default.
Too many moving parts!
Been on them many times in the Navy. Beasts. My favorite.

How much fuel do those 3 engines suck per hour? I'd hate to be the one paying for the gas.
Per engine, General Electric estimates the "Specific fuel consumption: ~0.4 lb/hp-h". If I'm interpreting this correctly, it means each engine burns .4 pounds of fuel per horsepower, per hour. In other words (assuming my interpretation is correct), all three engines combined would burn 9,000 pounds of fuel per hour operating at the max HP of 7,500.
.4lbs * 7,500 hp = 3,000lbs per hour
3k lbs * 3 engines = 9,000 lbs per hour
