More than aircraft are scheduled to be delivered by The UHM features new wide chord composite spar main rotor blades which will provide lb more lift than the current UHL blade , strengthened fuselage and advanced infrared suppression. The fly-by-wire glass cockpit has a digitised bus-based avionics suite with four Rockwell Collins multi-function displays, four-axis fully-coupled autopilot, two Canadian Marconi CMC electronic flight management systems, dual Honeywell embedded GPS inertial EGI navigation system, digital moving map and Goodrich integrated vehicle health management system IHVMS.
The new General Electric TGED engine with full authority digital electronic control is more powerful and provides additional lift during sling load operations. The helicopter is flown by a crew of three: the pilot and the co-pilot at the flight deck and one crew member in the cabin. The Blackhawk helicopter is equipped with a glass cockpit and digital avionics. In addition, customers may select a digital automated flight computer system AFCS to simplify pilot workload.
An electronic flight information system EFIS provides primary pilotage and navigation displays for the aircrew. The Blackhawk is qualified as a launch platform for the laser-guided Hellfire anti-armour missile.
The ESSS has the capability of carrying a 10,lb payload of missiles, rockets, cannons and electronic countermeasures pods. The helicopter can also accommodate additional missiles, supplies or personnel inside the cabin. The cabin provides accommodation for 11 fully equipped troops or four litters stretcher patients with a medical officer for medical evacuation missions.
The cabin is equipped with a ventilation and heating system. The SA can carry external loads up to 9,lb 4,kg on the cargo hook — for example, a mm howitzer. The main cabin can be cleared of troop seats for transportation of cargo.
Additional stores can be carried on the external stores support system. For operations in Arctic environments, the Black Hawk can be fitted with landing skis. The UHA is equipped with troop accommodations for eight, which can be removed to accommodate four full-sized medical litters. The Black Hawk can transport 11 fully equipped combat soldiers in an assault-ready configuration, or 14 in a maximum capacity situation.
Maximum troop carrying capacity is 20 lightly equipped personnel. The dedicated medevac variant of the Black Hawk can accommodate 6 litters. The UHA is equipped with a rearward sliding and lockable door on each side of the cargo compartment. The external cargo hook is rated to 8, pounds 3, kg. Each ESSS wing is equipped with 2 removable pylons.
The wings are rated to 5, pounds each, and can accommodate a single gallon fuel tank, as well as a single gallon fuel tank this gives the UHA an unrefueled self-deployment range of 1, nautical miles. Up to 16 Hellfire missiles can be mounted on the ESSS and, when coupled with the capability to carry an additional 16 missiles internally, gives an armed Black Hawk the ability to re-arm itself mid-mission.
Internal fuel is stored in two crashworthy fuel tanks and totals gallons. If ESSS equipped, the Black Hawk can carry two gallon external tanks, and up to two additional auxiliary gallon tanks internally in the cargo compartment. The Black Hawk is capable of flying on one engine. While not equipped with any dedicated weapon systems, the UHA is equipped with two pintle mounts one each located on either side of the airframe aft of the flight deck. These pintles are capable of accepting a variety of weapons, to include the M GP 7.
Production of the UHL began in with the conversion of existing UHA aircraft to the "L" standard as well as the production of new airframes. 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. The Black Hawk has a composite titanium and fiberglass four-bladed main rotor, is powered by two General Electric TGE shp turboshaft engines, and has a speed of mph knots. The General Accounting Office identified the evacuation deficiency in its report to Congress in The Army Plan states, "Enhance the battlefield medical system by acquiring modern medical evacuation aircraft" Lessons learned from Operations Just Cause and Desert Storm showed a need for medical version of the UH Pave Hawks are equipped with a rescue hoist with a foot The helicopter hoist can recover survivors from a hover height of feet above the ground or vertical landings can be accomplished into unprepared areas.
The hoist can recover a Stokes litter patient or three people simultaneously on a forest penetrator. Pave Hawk is equipped with two crew-served 7.
Also, two. Mission systems on the HHH make it ideally suited for operations with special warfare units.
