JakubJakepilot Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Hi gents, I was researching H-60/S-70 Blackhawk family again, and I ran across a few things. One of the is, that some air forces uses different styles of external wings with 2-4 hardpoints. I was trying to research it and came up with this. Can you help me sort it out ? The only thing I know for 100% is ESSS with 4 hardpoints. Other configs are .... The "\" indicates the direction of a pylon and "I" indicates hardpoint. I can upload pics of actual helos later. ESSS - External store support system (standard Sikorsky option kit) four store stations inboard capacity 3160 lb each, outboard capacity 1650 lb each, system weith 674 lb - 2 x 450gal or 4 x 200/230 gal fuel tanks USA UH-60A/L, MH-60K, MH-60A, Taiwan SAR, South Korea Army, Mexico AF, Chile, Colombia, Brunei, Brasil, Bahrain, Austria, Australia, Argentina \ I \ I ?? - USA MH-60L/K DAP (cut-down ESSS with single store ?) \ I LASS - Lightweight Armament Support Structure - single store - 318kg on storehttps://www.compositesworld.com/blog/post/unitech-composites-pylons-take-weight-out-of-black-hawks LASS - USA MH-60K test ? _ \ I MLASS - Multi-Station Lightweight Armament Support Structure - dual store - 318kg on each storeshttps://www.compositesworld.com/blog/post/unitech-composites-pylons-take-weight-out-of-black-hawks MLASS - USA MH-60K test ? _ \ _ I I ?? - Taiwan SAR \__ I I ETS - External Tank support (standard Sikorsky option kit) two stores stations capacity 1800 lbs each, system weight 366 lbs, large field of fire for window guns (For example MH-60K) South Korea Navy, South Korea SAR, Malaysia, Japan SAR, Israel, USA MH-60K prototype ? /I EFS - External fuel support (Non standard option ) two stores station capacity 3160 lbs each system weight 435 lb ?? ??

JakubJakepilot Posted February 19, 2019 Author Share Posted February 19, 2019 Hi, bumping this again. I did a table with all the possible wing config I was able to find. Can any experts check it and tell me if it is correct ? And, do we know the name of the last "special" pylon only Taiwan SAR uses ? Thanks ! http://212.158.133.54/_other/blackhawk_pylons.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hemspilot Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 The style in the MH-60k was designed to increased the field of fire for window mounted mini guns. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
