The H-60 is a family of military helicopters built by Sikorsky Aircraft.

All models use a modified mission symbol in addition to the ‘H’ vehicle type designation under the 1962 United States Tri-Service aircraft designation system (meaning, there is no aircraft named an “H-60” per se). The mission prefix (e.g. U, M, V) only has tangential meaning to the suffix series letter (A/B/C etc.), as most modified mission types encompass multiple series letters. Sikorsky also sells this helicopter as the S-70, but it was initially developed as the UH-60 to specific United States Army project requirements. Variants include:

• Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk, a medium-lift utility helicopter introduced in 1979.
• Sikorsky SH-60 Seahawk, a multi-mission maritime helicopter used by United States Naval units.
  • Sikorsky SH-60F Oceanhawk, a variant for antisubmarine warfare.
  • Sikorsky MH-60S Knighthawk, a variant for troop transport and vertical replenishment, but can also perform search and rescue.
• Sikorsky HH-60G Pave Hawk, a United States Air Force variant for combat search and rescue.
  • Sikorsky HH-60H Rescue Hawk, maritime special operations, search and rescue model for the U.S. Naval aviation.
• Sikorsky MH-60T Jayhawk, a variant used by the United States Coast Guard for maritime patrol, interdiction, and search and rescue (upgraded from extant HH-60J Jayhawk aircraft beginning in 2007).
• Sikorsky VH-60N White Hawk, a variant used by the Us Marine’s as Presidential and VIP transport helicopter including Marine One.
• Mitsubishi H-60, manufactured in Japan by Mitsubishi under license from Sikorsky.

The Lockheed Martin C-130J Super Hercules is a four-engine turboprop military transport aircraft. The C-130J is a comprehensive update of the Lockheed C-130 Hercules, with new engines, flight deck, and other systems. The Hercules family has the longest continuous production run of any military aircraft in history. During more than 50 years of service, the family has participated in military, civilian, and humanitarian aid operations. The Hercules has outlived several planned successor designs, most notably the Advanced Medium STOL Transport contestants. Fifteen nations have placed orders for a total of 300 C-130Js, of which 250 aircraft have been delivered as of February 2012.
