The powerful UH-60L Black Hawk is the current production model of the U.S.Army's rugged air assault and utility transport helicopter.
More than 1,600 UH-60s have been delivered to the U.S.Army so far, and more than 400 Black Hawks serve the armed forces of countries from Australia to Turkey. Production deliveries of the UH-60 to U.S.Army began in October 1978.
The Black Hawk first went into combat in Operation Urgent Fury, the invasion of Grenada in October 1983. In the fierce battle to stabilize the Caribbean island, the heavy-duty control components, redundant control runs, and self-sealing fuel tanks of the Black Hawk proved their value.
A quarter century after its first flight, Sikorsky's Black Hawk is a key elements of American military power and ready to grow with tomorrow's airmobility needs.
