The Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter has been the U.S. Army’s primary medium-lift utility transport and air assault aircraft for decades. It is a twin-engined medium-lift utility helicopter, equipped with a single 4-bladed rotor and a single 4-bladed tail rotor. The UH-60 has proven itself time after time to be one of the most durable, survivable and consistently high performing rotorcraft ever designed. With rearward sliding and lockable doors on each side of the large cargo compartment, along with a variety of other proven attributes, the UH-60 has also made its mark in the private sector. Arista has vast experience in bringing UH-60s back to–and exceeding–manufacturer specifications, upgrading to meet customer specifications and delivering an affordable, reliable aircraft to a variety of government and private sectors.
