Black Hawk Helicopter: The Beast of the Skies

Black Hawk Helicopter: The Beast of the Skies If you've ever watched an action movie, chances are you've seen the Black Hawk helicopter zooming across the screen, dodging bullets, and rescuing soldiers from impossible situations. But in reality, this helicopter is even cooler than Hollywood makes it seem. A Little Background The Black Hawk helicopter, officially known as the UH-60 Black Hawk, was introduced by Sikorsky Aircraft in the late 1970s. The U.S. Army wanted something tough, reliable, and fast—so they got this flying powerhouse. It has been used in almost every major military operation since then, making it one of the most famous helicopters in the world.
