People's understanding of the Black Hawk largely comes from the movie " Black Hawk Down". There, several Black Hawks were shot down, and they were shot down by very weak RPGs, so many people started going crazy without thinking. Disparaging the Black Hawk, let me talk about the relevant knowledge of the Black Hawk, hoping to let everyone get to know the Black Hawk again.
Black Hawk helicopter , the full name is UH-60 utility helicopter , is a medium-sized general-purpose aircraft, that is, a multi-purpose helicopter. It entered service in 1979. Black Hawk is its code name. It is a multi-purpose aircraft that can be used for multiple purposes. For reconnaissance, transportation, rescue, etc., when performing different tasks, you can add or subtract some corresponding equipment (our to 8 is also of this type). A total of more than 4,000 helicopters have been produced. In the general helicopter industry, it is definitely the first in the world, with a total of Exported to 20% of the world's countries. The development of the
Black Hawk drew on the actual combat experience of the U.S. Army's UH-1 series helicopters in the Vietnam War. It used two General Electric T700-GE-700 turboshaft engines, with a single power of 1165 kilowatts (1560 shaft horsepower). After all the oil leaks, the engine can still run for half an hour. The itself is slender and can be transported directly by the transport aircraft . Its slender body and powerful engine allow it to reach a speed of 350 kilometers per hour, which is faster than most helicopters.
has an empty weight of 4.8 tons and can carry 5.2 tons. It can lift Humvees and cannons, and can transport the troops and equipment of an infantry squad at one time. It can carry up to 20 fully armed personnel and has a range of 2,200 kilometers. It has a heavy load and a long range. Until now, the U.S. military still uses Black Hawk on a large scale to deliver troops. The oversized hatches on both sides allow personnel and equipment to be loaded and unloaded in the theater as quickly as possible (in fact, many times they do not close it at all). hatch, leaving faster)
's own material has extremely high hardness, creating an industry record of zero casualties when falling from 13 meters. The rotors and other components have added electrically heated anti-icing coverings, which can be used normally in plateau environments. Without icing and other phenomena ( propeller de-icing technology, only four countries in the world have this technology, the first three are the United States, Russia and France, and our country is the fourth), it can operate at an altitude of more than 6,000 meters. Use (our country didn’t even have a 3,000-meter helicopter before).
's own platform is so good that it has developed many derivative models
MH-60K, Black Hawk armed helicopter, which is equipped with short-wing weapon racks and fire control radar on the general model, and has powerful ground and air strike capabilities. There are two Gatling machine guns on both sides, and two M230 30MM cannons (the same model as Apache ). The weapon rack can mount 4 Hellfire anti-tank missiles or Stinger air-to-air missiles. Missile, 19 rockets launch nest, its firepower density is twice that of the AH-64 Apache armed helicopter. It has aerial refueling capability. It is equipped with AN/AAQ-16B forward-looking infrared turret and AN/APQ-174 terrain avoidance/tracking radar on the nose. It has an infrared jammer that can interfere with shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missiles and AN/AAR-47 Missile warning receivers and AN/AVR-3 laser warning receivers have extremely strong survivability.

U.S. Navy anti-submarine / transport helicopter "Sea Hawk" MH-60R , equipped with US Navy , performs anti-submarine and transportation tasks, and can mount AGM-119 anti-ship missiles and MK50 anti-submarine torpedoes . There are special floating equipment on the fuselage. After an accident, the helicopter can make an emergency landing directly at sea. In the future, a MAD detection system will be installed to detect metal objects by detecting small changes in magnetic force. India has imported 24 of them, with a unit price of over US$100 million, which is more expensive than the F35 stealth fighter .

stealth version of the Black Hawk, used in the operation to assassinate bin Laden. The surface is covered with radar absorbing material. The rotor sound is very small. The related technology is similar to the F117.
The Black Hawk has been in service for more than 40 years and is still the best in the world. It has extremely strong structural strength and excellent fall resistance. The rotor can withstand direct fire from the 23MM cannon . During the Gulf War , more than 300 Black Hawks were dispatched at one time, directly delivering thousands of troops and equipment hundreds of kilometers away. Who else has such a helicopter?
