 The Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk is a four-bladed, twin-engine, medium-lift utility helicopter manufactured by Sikorsky Aircraft. Sikorsky submitted the S-70 design for the U.S. Army's "Utility Tactical Transport Aircraft System" competition in 1972. The Army designated the prototype as the YUH-60A and selected the Black Hawk as the winner of the program in 1976.

The UH-60 features four-blade main and tail rotors, and is powered by two General Electric T700 turboshaft engines. The main rotor is fully articulated and has elastomeric bearings in the rotor head. The tail rotor is canted and features a rigid crossbeam. The helicopter has a long, low profile shape to meet the Army's requirement for transporting aboard a C-130 Hercules, with some disassembly. It can carry 11 troops with equipment, lift 1,200 kg of cargo internally or 4,100 kg of cargo externally by sling.		   Der Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk ist ein vierblättriger, zweimotoriger Helikopter mit mittlerem Hub, der von Sikorsky Aircraft hergestellt wird. Sikorsky reichte 1972 das S-70-Design für den Wettbewerb "Utility Tactical Transport Aircraft System" der US-Army ein. Die Armee benannte den Prototyp als YUH-60A und wählte den Black Hawk 1976 als Sieger des Programms aus.
Der UH-60 verfügt über Vierblatt-Haupt- und Heckrotoren und wird von zwei General Electric T700 Turbowellentriebwerken angetrieben. Der Hauptrotor ist voll beweglich und hat elastische Lager im Rotorkopf. Der Heckrotor ist gekippt und hat einen starren Querträger. Der Hubschrauber hat eine lange, niedrige Profilform, um die Anforderung der Armee zu erfüllen, an Bord einer C-130 Hercules mit etwas Demontage zu transportieren. Er kann 11 Soldaten mit Ausrüstung tragen, 1.200 kg Ladung im Rumpf oder 4.100 kg Ladung extern an einer Schlinge heben.

Operational history

Einsatzgeschichte

 

    

2001 bestellte die RTA 8 UH-60L Black Hawk. Es wurden jedoch nur 3 Maschinen geliefert, da finanzielle Probleme weitere Zukäufe verunmöglichten. Anfänglich hatte die RTA einen Bedarf von 31 Maschinen angemeldet die bis 2004 geliefert werden sollten. Bis heute wurden insgesamt 16 Maschinen geliefert. Als ฮล.๖๐ HT-60 Transporthubschrauber Nr. 60 werden die Sikorsky in der RTA benannt.
