If this thing is like a Bravo model Seahawk then its very loud and uncomfortable. Cranials hurt after a while lol and rubbing your ears for relief is loud af if you dont have foamies in...I have flown in Sierra models of Seahawk and they are alot more tolerable. 47 and 53 werent bad to fly in I didnt think...

I was a 68B 96-04.

Helicopter Doctor I love the Sikorsky UH 60 Blackhawk so very much and I adore her so very much, the noise of the engine is simply amazing, awesome, fascinating, adorable and so majestic to listen, the whole helicopter is so sususususupercool and astonishing to see, I say it again and again and again I love this helicopter! Lovely greetings from Sarah and have a wonderful, happy and peaceful day and stay safe out there and take care of you 🇺🇸💖👍🇺🇸💖👍🇺🇸💖👍🇺🇸💖👍🇺🇸💖👍

How can u not love em!

How my guys preferred to fly Med, slick with only 3 seats in the cabin two for the crew cheifs and the Medic's back left right up against the LH cabin door. Gave you the most of the cabin floor for patients and the Medics would have the aft bulkhead to hang basically a dresser full of all of their kit with backboards hung on the ceiling, quick and easy load and unloading with full access to all sides of the patients unlike with the internally mounted center carousel or other system which pulled out the two crew chief seats was way harder to load not mention the weight from those systems. Really the only additional weight and cabin space we'd be willing to sacrifice is if we'd need to mount Robbie tanks in which case the Medics seat move up in between the two crew chiefs.

Yeees

👎👎👎👎👎

Motors... Twin turbines. 😁🇺🇸

I know, I had to watch a few times... Awesome !

True

He went hard on the collective

If the helicopter is very prepared, it can do

I was skipping 5 sec at a time and suddenly it was cleanly in the air .... also did a double take

ngai den.. .

Actually boss, it hangs left wheel low due to translating tendency which is caused by the tail rotor.

SuperBlackhawkdriver Not to be a douche, but Paul Humphrey is probably right. Translation tenancy does exist in rotary wing flight, however it causes more of a lateral "drift" than a "roll". The tail rotor isn't angled nearly enough to cause that much roll. Also, the tail rotor deflects air to the left side of the aircraft to counteract the clockwise yawing tenancy of the fuselage. So even if the tail rotor could cause significant rolling/banking movement, it would cause a right hand roll instead of the left hand roll you see here. Translating tendency is defined by the textbooks as: "The tendency for a single rotor helicopter to drift laterally, due to tail rotor thrust." Note that it doesn't say "roll" to the left. Just a friendly correction :)

Andre Morgan Let me correct a friendly correction that is incorrect... By the looks of your profile, you work with CH-47s, which do not have to worry about translating tendency due to their counter-rotating rotor system. UH-60s, on the other hand, do have to compensate for translating tendency. Luckily for us pilots, the BlackHawk's flight control system gives us a little help, through the Mechanical Mixing Unit (MMU), so that we don't have to work as hard up in the cockpit. "Collective to Roll" and "Collective to Yaw" compensation are a couple of the MMU functions. As we increase the collective, those GE-701 engines start creating a whole lot of torque to keep our main rotor at 100%. Normally, to compensate for that torque, a pilot would add some left pedal to keep the aircraft from spinning in the opposite direction of the rotor system, which in the case of a BlackHawk would be to the right (since our blades rotate counter-clockwise). The MMU automatically increases the pitch in the tail rotor blades (left pedal) to counter-act the increase in torque; that is the "Collective to Yaw" function. Now, since the UH-60 has a pretty beefy, puller type tail rotor (it actually contributes 2.5% of our total lift due to the 20 degree cant... which might not sound like a lot, but it is significant), that increase in pitch would cause the BlackHawk to "roll" or "drift" to the right. The MMU comes to the rescue again and automatically adjusts the pitch of the main rotor blades and causes the rotor disk to have a left "tilt" to keep the aircraft from drifting right; that's the "Collective to Roll" function. Because the rotor disk is now slightly tilted to the left, the centrifugal force pulling down on the left side of the rotor system causes the BlackHawk to hang left wheel low. The other comment about the transmission being slightly off-center is also incorrect... :-)

Brian Lucas nice explanation Brian. I got a little bit lazy and tried to give a dumbed down explanation but you explained it all perfectly. So which are you IP or MTP?

Brian Lucas wow thanks! great bird, I'd love to be a mechanic on these heli's but the country I live in doesn't have them unfortunatly.. but it's very interesting to read about technical and aerodynamic things about the Black Hawk

It was the coffee

Wow he did get that bird off the ground quickly, I've never seen one do that either, wow😊❤👍

Your name looks familiar.

Something to do with the frame rate of the camera, I'd try to explain it but I'd more than likely get it wrong and have people praying for my ruination lol.

Hes noob, me pro

Krish Gopal love from North Korea 🇰🇵

jake holland lol yeah he took off like a bat out of hell.wasn't expecting that.

Overtorque in 3...2...1... lol

Not even a pilot and even I said "Oh shit!"

Normal operating procedure not even close to an over torque or damage to the aircraft

Years ago while in college, one of my classmates, who was in the ANG, arranged for a "visit" by the Chinook he was assigned to. When they were preparing to leave, the pilot pulled into a hover about 5 feet off the ground and then yanked up on the collective, made the blackhawk in this video look slow and cumbersome. He was up to several hundred feet AGL within seconds.

That's what she said. :)

bitethedevil Who is "she"?

your mother

Robert Schubert ?

well, that escalated quickly

+Melvin Abner Both of y'all are wrong, Military trains their men to be able to control those things in combat situations. He had it well under control.

good

nice

Yeah because the military never have accidents right?

Thunderpants121 Nono

Yea pretty much.

Shut up.....

Blackhawk weighs about 12,500lbs more than a R22 does
