Missions BLACK HAWK Variants News

When the mission is on the line, there’s one helicopter that’s consistently called upon to deliver.  The rugged, versatile BLACK HAWK and its family of variants are trusted around the world for critical missions from air assault to emergency response.

Sikorsky has built more than 5,000 HAWK aircraft for 36 nations worldwide. Together they’ve racked up more than 15 million flight hours, including 5 million in combat, thanks to a proven design and continuously improving technology that’s kept this venerable aircraft at the forefront. 

Unmatched Versatility

With a large, highly configurable cabin, plenty of power from twin GE T700 power turbine engines, and capabilities for external lift, additional auxiliary fuel tanks, and multiple integrated sensor configurations, the HAWK is ready for just about any mission over land or sea.

Built to Military Specs from Day One

This isn’t a commercial helicopter that’s been painted green. The HAWK was built from the ground up to the exacting demands of front-line users, so it can fly in high / hot environments, land in tight spaces and on small ships, protect crew from enemy fire, and withstand the punishment of real-world mission operations.

Constantly Innovating

Today’s HAWK family is built on hard-earned lessons from the toughest missions, with a constant stream of improvements to make it tougher, safer, and faster. From a more durable gear box and stronger rotor blades to a future digital cockpit, today’s HAWK is better than ever. And tomorrow’s HAWK will accelerate that innovation, with more powerful engines, an integrated digital architecture, and safety systems to help pilots in tough conditions.
