CH-53KSIKORSKY

KING STALLION HELICOPTER

Sikorsky’s venerable CH-53 family has a new member, the CH-53K. The King Stallion has been designed and built to the exacting standards of the U.S. Marine Corp (USMC). It is the only heavy lift helicopter designed this century that meets today’s tough safety standards. It has been designed as a smart aircraft to work seamlessly in today’s digital environment.

The systems on this aircraft, including the Fly-By-Wire (FBW) flight control system and the health management (IVHMS), provide advancements in ease of operation, safety and operational readiness that prior generation aircraft don’t have. The CH-53K has been designed with the maintainer in mind by facilitating the ease of maintenance and the reduction in the time required to make repairs, resulting in an improved availability rate and a reduction in operating and support costs of the platform.

The CH-53K is capable of lifting 16,330 kg /36,000 lbs externally and has a cabin that is a 30 cm/12 in wider at the floor than its closest competitor, making it ideal for carrying more with fewer trips, and fewer aircraft. Its cabin size allows faster, more flexible loading /unloading and does not require reconfiguration when transitioning from troop transport to internal supply transport. In addition, the CH-53K is at the beginning of its design life, with room to grow when the customer requires more lift capability.

The CH-53K is rapidly moving through its flight test program with two aircraft already in flight test and another two joining them shortly. The aircraft have exceeded 140 kts and have performed multiple lifts of over 5,400 kg /12,000 lb.
