Notes
The Sikorsky UH-60 Blackhawk is one of Sikorsky’s most successful military helicopters. It has approximately 21 Different versions and operates in over 25 countries. The major difference between the UH-60 Family and the S-70 family is that the S-70 was developed for international sales/use. The UH and SH-60s are mostly for domestic use.
This list covers all the known variants according to Sikorsky- EH-60 Quick Fix, EH-60B SOTAS, HH-60D Night Hawk, VH-60N (military executive transport), MH-60G Pave Hawk, UH060Q (Medivac), MH-60K (Special Ops), S-70A, S-70C, UH-60A/L FMS, UH-60P, S-70A Firehawk, SH-60B Seahawk, SH-60F CV Helo, HH-60H HCS, HH-60J Jayhawk, CH-60S, SH-60R, S-70FMS, and the S-70B.
The UH-60 has what rc helicopter modelers now refer to as heading lock or tail locking for it's anti-torq control. The pilots I've spoken with prefer not to use this feature because of lack of control during flight.
