The Sikorsky UH-60 "Black Hawk" is a helicopter featuring twin turboshaft engines, a main rotor, and a semi-monocoque fuselage. The "Black Hawk" was developed to meet a 1972 U.S. Army requirement for a successor to the Bell UH-1 "Iroquois."
Three prototypes were built; the first (YUH-60) made its maiden flight in October 1974 and was evaluated against a competing design from Boeing-Vertol (YUH-61).
The "Black Hawk" was selected for mass production, and the UH-60A entered service with the U.S. Army in 1979.
