Needless to present all the qualities of the Black Hawk. This iconic helicopter has been the backbone of the US Army and its allies airborne transport capability for more than 40 years. Over 4000 pieces have been produced in several variants. The predominant feature during its development was its resilience against firearms up to 23 mm while still fulfilling its mission. Even during the loss of main gear oil pressure, the Black Hawk can continue its flight for one hour. Another interesting feature is the spatial arrangement of the tail rotor, which is not entirely horizontal. Thus, it not only generates anti-torque but also contributes around 2.5% to the overall lift of the helicopter.

The EH-60A is a demilitarized version of the electronic warfare variant of the US Army.
