| Description: | The Black Hawk is the primary division-level transport helicopter, providing dramatic improvements in troop capacity and cargo lift capability compared to the UH-1 Series "Huey" it replaces. The UH-60A, with a crew of three, can lift an entire 11-man fully-equipped infantry squad in most weather conditions. It can be configured to carry four litters, by removing eight troop seats, in the MedEval role. Both the pilot and co-pilot are provided with armor-protective seats. Protective armor on the Black Hawk can withstand hits from 23mm shells. The Black Hawk has a cargo hook for external lift missions. The Black Hawk has provisions for door mounting of two M60D 7.62mm machine guns on the M144 armament subsystem, and can disperse chaff and infrared jamming flares using the M130 general purpose dispenser. The Black Hawk has a composite titanium and fiberglass four-bladed main rotor, is powered by two General Electric T700-GE-700 1622 shp turboshaft engines, and has a speed of 163 mph (142 knots). |

Good ruged helicopter. A bit expensive but great for SWAT operations. Powerful engins, nice cruising speed, and a glass cockpit. One great chopper!!

Love all helicopters. Love to going flying in them. However, I am not too sure about this one. Have seen too many accidents in this type. Bummer.

The perfect helicopter for combat. The only improvement needed is to replicate the Huey's distinct and adredalin initiating "thump, thump, thump" upon approach. (Vietnam era vets will understand this).

During many flights while in the Army, very reliable and smooth flights under extreme situations. Very forgiving for unexperiernced flyers.
