Citat:Sikorsky Aircraft Delivers 100th New Production UH-60M BLACK HAWK Helicopter To U.S. Army

STRATFORD, Conn. - March 26, 2009:
In a rollout ceremony attended by government officials, armed services personnel, and employees, Sikorsky Aircraft Corp. today celebrated delivery of the 100th new production UH-60M BLACK HAWK helicopter to the U.S. Army. Sikorsky is a subsidiary of United Technologies Corp. The 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 United States Army's Utility Tactical Transport Aircraft System (UTTAS) 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, after a fly-off competition with the Boeing Vertol YUH-61. The UH-60A entered service with the Army in 1979, to replace the UH-1 Iroquois as the Army's tactical transport helicopter.
With a new airframe, avionics and propulsion system, the UH-60M helicopter is the latest and most modern in a series of BLACK HAWK variants that Sikorsky has been delivering to the Army without interruption since 1978.
"The UH-60M helicopter delivers great technology and a load of confidence based on Sikorsky's three decades of experience in designing, building and servicing the workhorse of the United States Army," said Sikorsky President Jeffrey P. Pino, a retired U.S. Army Master Aviator with 26 years of combined active, reserve and National Guard service. "I can talk about the aircraft's reduced pilot workload, increased lift, better protection and enhanced survivability, but nothing means more than when soldiers tell us how much they depend on and trust this helicopter."
Col. L. Neil Thurgood, Utility Helicopters Project Manager for the U.S. Army, noted an entire battalion of the aircraft has deployed to Afghanistan. "The UH-60M BLACK HAWK has been warmly received by our soldiers who appreciate its performance, durability and robust design," said Col. Thurgood, who spent time with employees in the Stratford plant, thanking them for the important part they play in America's defense.
The Army currently has more than 1,740 BLACK HAWK variants with more than 5.8 million combined flight hours in inventory, constituting the world's largest and most battle-tested BLACK HAWK fleet. The Army BLACK HAWK fleet will soon exceed more than 1 million hours of combat duty in the Iraq and Afghanistan war theaters since 2003.
"The BLACK HAWK is a great aircraft, the military's battlefield transport of choice," Pino said. "With the UH-60M helicopter, the Army and Sikorsky are building upon that tradition and ensuring that it will continue for generations to come."
The UH-60M helicopter's new composite spar wide-chord blade will provide 227 kg (500 lbs) more lift than the current UH-60L blade. The new General Electric T700-GE-701D engine will add more horsepower and allow additional lift during external lift (sling load) operations.
The UH-60M helicopter represents the Army's third standard baseline BLACK HAWK version in the 30-year production history of the program. Sikorsky delivered the UH-60A BLACK HAWK helicopters from 1978 until 1989, and delivered the UH-60L from 1989 until 2008. Not content with the status quo, Sikorsky is even now working on an upgrade to the UH-60M helicopter. The upgrade will feature fly-by-wire flight controls, full authority digital engine controllers, enhanced cockpit displays and a composite tail-cone. Brig. General Walter Davis, Director of Army Aviation, received a briefing on this effort.
Sikorsky Aircraft Corp., based in Stratford, Conn., is a world leader in helicopter design, manufacture and service. Its mission statement reflects the company's long commitment to safety and innovation: "We pioneer flight solutions that bring people home everywhere... every time(TM)."
United Technologies Corp., based in Hartford, Conn., provides a broad range of high technology products and support services to the aerospace and building systems industries.

Na ove helikoptere imam preljepe uspomene,znali smo ih vidat po 13 komada kako lete jedan iza drugog uz pratnju sa par AH-64 .Sve dok su ameri imali bazu kod Tuzle.Pogled i buka koju su stvarali su bili nevjerovatni.


Tokom zadnje posjete Baracka Obame Pragu je u C-5 dovucen i ovaj malac,za vanredne potrebe.Na kraju je bio samo garaziran na aerodromu i onda ga opet "upakovali" u C-5 .
