Black Hawk helicopter

Army transport aircraft

A Black Hawk is a medium-lift military helicopter used primarily by the U.S.

Army, designed for troop transport, medical evacuation, and assault missions.

The UH-60 Black Hawk became the Army's standard utility helicopter in the 1970s, replacing the Huey.

It gained cultural prominence through the book and film *Black Hawk Down*, depicting the 1993 Battle of Mogadishu: Two Black Hawks were shot down over the city.
